Luxembourg hosts Azerbaijan in round 6 of the UEFA Nations League C. The match will be played on Tuesday, November 17th at Stade Josy Barthel (Luxembourg)
In the last round, the Red Lions played against Cyprus on the road. Everything seemed to be in favor of Luxembourg, and even the rivals helped. On Saturday, Kusulos scored an own goal in the fifth minute. However, Vahid Selimovic let his partners down at the end of half an hour. A 23-year-old defender, who played two previous seasons for the Cypriot Apollon, picked up a red card and brought a penalty, which Castanos converted. In the middle of the second half, Grigoris scored a double and brought victory to the hosts. Gerson Rodrigues (the player of Dynamo Kyiv spent the whole match) and the company are one point behind Montenegro, and they need to win in the last round and wait for the competitors to fail.

Azerbaijan is gradually moving to the football philosophy of its current coach, Gianni de Biasi. The Italian made a name for himself by bringing another eternal outsider, the Albanian national team, to the last European Championship. So far, there is no need to think about anything like this in the Caucasus. However, his new team looks good in the Nations League. Yes, there were defeats to both favorites, Luxembourg and Montenegro. But there were also four points earned in matches against a direct competitor, Cyprus. And the Azerbaijanis didn’t concede a single goal in both meetings with the Islanders. On November 14, there was another clean sheet. However, the Azerbaijanis were nominal hosts at that time - because of the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, a football match was played in Croatian Zapresic. The Blues showed a good game with Montenegro, and it is far from certain that they should have rejoiced in the final goalless draw, especially since Cyprus unexpectedly won.
So far, the results are rather equal. First, Azerbaijan won on the road with a score of 3-1, and there were two draws in the qualification for the 2014 World Cup. In September, the Red Lions won in Baku with the same 3-1 score. Luxembourg is unlikely to allow two misfires in a row, and Azerbaijan may lack strength for two matches with the favorites. We will bet on the hosts.
Prediction for the match: Luxembourg to win
