Luxembourg is a modest team that doesn’t set the Thames on fire but often creates a lot of problems for its opponents. Now the Red Lions have six points, and the gap to the first two places is very big. Despite this, the players continue to fight for every point with full dedication. The current campaign cannot be called successful. Outsiders Azerbaijan and Ireland were defeated, but the Luxembourgers lost to the leaders without a chance, conceding a total of seven goals from Serbia and Portugal. Key players with famous names play in attack, namely, Rodrigues and Thill. Let’s note that Luxembourg played one game less than the other teams from Group A.

After Serbia failed to qualify for Euro 2020, the federation parted ways with the head coach. Ljubisa Tumbakovic left the national team. His place is now taken by Dragan Stojkovic. The shake-up benefited the players. Under the management of a new coach, the Serbs played 11 games in all tournaments, and the results are as follows: five victories, five draws, and only one defeat. Draws are a frequent occurrence for friendly games, and this is not surprising, because the result does not come first in such confrontations. In the current qualification for the World Cup, the Eagles are in second place in the group with 11 points. The gap to the leader in the face of Portugal is only two points. Both those and others have not yet lost in this qualifying cycle.
Both teams cannot boast of reliable defense. There is someone to score in the attack, but the game in defense leaves much to be desired. Serbia scored and conceded in all five matches of the current qualification. As for Luxembourg, the exchange of goals scored was recorded in three out of four cases. We will also note the statistics of head-to-head confrontations. The national teams crossed paths three times. In the fall of 2019, the Serbs won 3-1 and 3-2 in the qualification for the European Championship. And the Eagles beat the Red Lions in the first round of the current qualification for the World Cup (4-1). As you can see, it is worth taking a closer look at such an option as Over 2.5 goals scored. Both teams are motivated. Serbia can compete for the first place, while Luxembourg, which played one game less, has theoretical chances to take the second position. Therefore, both opponents will strive for victory.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
