Luxembourg and Qatar will trade tackles at the Luxembourg National Stadium in an international friendly fixture on Tuesday.

Their games in the group are quantified as friendlies and they come into the game on the back of a 3-1 defeat to Portugal on Saturday. Andre Silva, Otavio and Bruno Fernandes all got on the scoresheet for the Iberians.

Luxembourg vs Qatar Prediction

Qatar's recent poor run of form means that the Asian champions will not be as confident of victory as would have been the case.

Both sides are capable of getting the win here but we are predicting Qatar will secure a narrow victory with goals to be scored at both ends.

Prediction: Luxembourg 1-2 Qatar
