Luxembourg is in last place in the group and there is no way for them to move up. On Friday, they couldn't avoid the loss to Bulgaria, despite a strong second half, and lost 0:1. They are still without a win in the group and have only scored one goal in their five matches. They drew 1:1 as guests against Belarus, but then lost 0:1 to them at home. The scandals in the team camp also clearly have an impact, as Luxembourg has shown progress in recent years.
A draw will be enough for Northern IrelandNorthern Ireland is at the top of the group and only a draw in this match will theoretically guarantee them first place in the group. It seems well-deserved, mainly due to the strong home performances of the team. They have conceded only one goal in their five matches, which led to their only loss, 0:1, during their visit to Bulgaria. However, they defeated the same opponent 5:0 at home, and as guests they also had a goalless draw with Belarus.
Prediction: under 2.5 goalsLuxembourg has been struggling to score goals lately, and all of their matches in the group have had under 2.5 goals. Northern Ireland has only conceded one goal so far, and four out of their five matches have also had under 2.5 goals. Once again, under 2.5 goals seems like a reasonable outcome for this match.
