Our prediction for this Euro 2024 match:
Luxembourg will look to make amends for a massive 6-0 loss to Portugal when they take on Liechtenstein on Saturday afternoon. Luxembourg will not have a better chance than this to record their first win in Group J and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Liechtenstein. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be Gerson Rodrigues, who has netted 15 goals in 54 appearances for the national team.
The Blue-Reds, on the other hand, do not seem to be competitive at this level, with the team conceding 11 goals in total in back-to-back defeats to Portugal (0-4) and Iceland (0-7). Both Netzer and Wolfinger are pushing for a start as boss Rene Pauritsch should opt to make changes to the team that faced the Icelanders. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Liechtenstein have been struggling at the back at the start of Euro 2024 qualifiers.
Highlighted Team (Luxembourg):
Luxembourg national football team is controlled by Luxembourg Football Federation and they play their home games at Stade Josy Barthel. Les Lions Rouges have never qualified for the finals of a major tournament, but they often make life difficult for European teams in the qualifiers.
Luxembourg defeated Macedonia in the Euro 2016 qualifiers, but a victory over Czech Republic in the 1996 European Championship qualifying match is considered the team’s biggest success. Les Lions Rouges play their home matches in red shirts and red shorts, while they wear white jerseys and white shorts when playing on the travels.
Jeff Strasser is both the most famous and the most capped Luxembourg player and it has to be noted that the former Bundesliga player made 98 appearances for the national team. Luxembourg recorded their biggest win against Afghanistan (6-0), in the match that was played in London in 1948. Speaking of their biggest defeat, Luxembourg were outclassed by England 9-0 on two occasions (1960, 1982).
