Nations League Prediction
Luxembourg is last in this group 3 in this League C after losing its first match in Northern Ireland (2-0) this Thursday during the first day of the Nations League. Luc Holtz’s selection will be keen to bounce back quickly against a Belarus team that has not scored a goal for nearly 500 minutes! This is the 3rd defeat in a row for Thill’s teammates after 2 failures in France (3-0) and in Belgium (3-0) during friendly matches. Luxembourg has nevertheless won 4 of its last 5 home games against Liechtenstein (2-0), against Iceland (3-1), against Bosnia-Herzegovina (4-1) and against Kazakhstan (2-1) on March 26.
Belarus is expecting a complicated trip, having not scored in 5 games and having not won in 5 matches (2 draws and 3 defeats). After 4 poor performances against Montenegro (0-2), in Malta (0-0), against Russia (0-4) and against Israel (0-4) in Budapest in friendly matches, Carlos Alos’s team held Bulgaria (0-0) at the ZTE Arena on this first day. Despite Krastev’s expulsion in the 73rd minute of play, Bulgaria dominated this match (56% possession and 17 shots, 8 on target) without being able to win! The Belarusians did well but they could be less lucky in Luxembourg.
