Match Stats

The "Lions" are far from the formidable team they once were in the 1990s when they reached the World Cup semifinals and were capable of defeating anyone. In the recent Euro qualification, Bulgaria finished last in their group, even behind Lithuania.

As a result, the Bulgarian Football Federation decided to change their coach, appointing Iliev. Under his leadership, Bulgaria went on an unbeaten run of eight games. In the first two rounds of the UEFA Nations League, Bulgaria drew away to Belarus (0-0) and secured a 1-0 home win against Northern Ireland.Unlike their opponents, Luxembourg performed well in their Euro qualification group, finishing third behind Portugal and Slovakia. However, they were defeated 0-2 by Georgia in the first playoff round.

That loss dealt a heavy blow to the team, as they followed up their victory over Kazakhstan in a friendly with four consecutive defeats. This includes losses in their first two UEFA Nations League matches—an away defeat to Northern Ireland (0-2) and a 0-1 home loss to Belarus.

Prediction: 1-0
