Then, on the opening matchday, they even lost 2-1 at home to Luxembourg.
In the previous Nations League, Estonia finished ahead of Azerbaijan, collecting four points against them. They then pulled off the same trick against Moldova in qualifying. Things did not go smoothly in March, with a draw against Kenya and a defeat to Rwanda. However, in the summer they won the Baltic Cup, beating the Faroe Islands and Lithuania 1-0. They have now managed to hold Iceland to a draw.
Dimitrov's men score 1.7 goals per game while conceding considerably more, at 2.3. The Baltic side scores just 0.9 goals per match but concedes an average of two.
