Our Prediction for Luxembourg vs Belarus
The "Red Lions" are no longer seen as complete outsiders, but they still remain a mid-tier team in European football. They had decent chances last year, benefiting from a favorable draw. Although they managed to accumulate 17 points, Slovakia finished five points ahead, and Portugal even further. Luxembourg also had a second opportunity through the spring Nations League playoff path but stumbled at the first hurdle, losing 0-2 to Georgia in Tbilisi. Belarus, by their own standards, also performed fairly well, collecting 12 points. However, they only managed to finish ahead of Kosovo by a single point, while Andorra trailed in last place.
Luc Holtz has retained his role for the new cycle, once again selecting the best available players, though the pool remains limited. Carlos Alós, on the other hand, had to make several changes after a series of poor results in 2024, following a previously successful stretch. These adjustments were necessary after disappointing results, even though they came in friendly matches in March and June.
The "Red Lions" kicked off against Northern Ireland but faltered, losing 0-2 in Belfast, with the game essentially decided in the first quarter-hour. Meanwhile, Belarus faced Bulgaria, playing with a numerical advantage from the 73rd minute but still failing to score, finishing with a 0-0 draw.
