Despite showing growth in recent years, Luxembourg now does not appear to be in particularly good form and has not won in six consecutive matches. They have only scored one goal in those matches, which came at a 1:1 draw against Belarus in their last game. However, on the eve of the upcoming match, the situation in the team does not look good. Experienced defender Maxim Chano has been dropped from the squad after another verbal altercation with the team's coach, accusing him of amateurishly leading the team. He stated that other players have also suffered from the coach's behavior and the situation is further exacerbated.
A humiliating and sobering defeat for Bulgaria in the team's last matchDespite many draws, Bulgaria has shown stabilization since Iliyan Iliev took over as head coach. They were still struggling to win, but also struggling to lose. However, the last match was a disaster for the team. In contrast to previous matches, Bulgaria was brought down to earth. They suffered a heavy defeat, losing 0:5 as guests to Northern Ireland. In their last four matches, they have only scored one goal. Scoring goals remains a problem for Iliev and his team, as seven of Bulgaria's last eight matches had under 2.5 goals.
Prediction: under 2.5 goalsBoth teams are not in a good state, and scoring goals remains a problem for them. We have already seen a relatively dull match between them in Plovdiv, which ended without any goals, and now the conditions for goals are once again lacking.
