Luxembourg will face Belarus at the Stade de Luxembourg on Sunday in another round of their 2024-25 UEFA Nations League campaign. The home side have struggled for results of late, kicking off their Nations League campaign on the wrong note and now find themselves bottom of Group 3.
They suffered a 2-0 defeat to Northern Ireland last time out, finding themselves two goals down less than 20 minutes after kickoff and failing to muster any sort of response despite dominating possession for much of the game.
Belarus have also had their struggles in recent games although they managed to avoid defeat on opening day. Locking horns against Bulgaria at the ZTE Arena in Hungry, the White Kings quickly found themselves on the backfoot but held to their point with goalkeeper Fedor Lapoukhov making a brilliant eight saves in the process.
The visitors now sit second in the group table with one point. They are two points behind group leaders Northern Ireland and could leapfrog them with a win this weekend.
