Luxembourg is no longer the football dwarf that regularly suffered heavy defeats against any serious opponent years ago. Although it did not achieve anything significant in the recent qualifiers, the team showed serious growth in defensive terms and is becoming increasingly difficult to outplay by a large margin.
Albania also relies on a solid defenseJust a few days ago, Luxembourg lost narrowly 0:1 to Italy in a friendly, which is further evidence of the team's good organization. Now they are set to visit Albania, which has also established itself as a tough opponent in recent years. The Albanians had an impressive qualifying campaign, finishing second in their group ahead of Serbia and only behind England. The foundation of this success was indeed the solid defensive play. It is no coincidence that eight of Albania's last ten matches have ended with under 2.5 goals. A similar trend can be observed with Luxembourg, where five of their last six matches also did not exceed this threshold.
Prediction: Under 2.5 goalsI expect a cautious and tactical match between two teams that prioritize organization over spectacular football. Both Luxembourg and Albania rely more on discipline in defense than on constant pressure in attack. That is why my prediction is for under 2.5 goals in the match.
