Key Stats

  • Bulgaria haven’t lost to Luxembourg in eight games
  • Luxembourg haven’t won in their last six matches
  • These teams drew 0-0 last time out

Team Previews, Form, and Standout Players

Both teams will have mixed feelings about their start to the Nations League season, with them occupying the bottom two spots, and only Bulgaria look like catching Belarus.

Luxembourg Preview

Luxembourg Predicted Line-up - Anthony Moris; Kevin D'Anzico, Seid Korac, Dirk Carlson; Laurent Jans, Mathias Olesen, Leandro Barreiro, Mica Pinto; Danel Sinani; Alessio Curci, Gerson Rodrigues

Luxembourg head into this game bottom of the group, occupying the relegation play-off spot.

They drew 1-1 last time out with Belarus, but that’s hardly an issue given how impressive Belarus have been so far.

Leandro Barreiro plays beyond his years, and his quality will be vital for Luxembourg.

Bulgaria Preview

Bulgaria Predicted Line-up - Dimitar Mitov; Viktor Popov, Zhivko Atanasov, Aleks Petkov, Fabian Nurnberger; Georgi Kostadinov, Valentin Antov; Kiril Despodov, Filip Krastev, Radoslav Kirilov; Aleksandr Kolev

Bulgaria have also disappointed so far, they’ll feel they should instead be challenging Northern Ireland for top spot.

Ironically, they lost 5-0 last time out to Northern Ireland, but that was thanks to a ridiculous attacking performance from their opponents.

Kiril Despodov will want to continue his goalscoring form from midfield.
