Luxembourg vs Estonia prediction 13.11.2026 | UEFA Nations League

Luxembourg resume their Nations League campaign following a disappointing 2:0 home defeat against Bulgaria last month.

Kristiyan Balov gave the visitors the lead after 19 minutes before Atanas Iliev doubled their advantage before half-time. Despite an improved second-half performance, Luxembourg failed to respond after the break.

That setback came quickly on the back of a narrow 1:0 defeat away to Estonia three days earlier. 

Luxembourg began their campaign with a 2:1 victory in Bulgaria but have since lost each of their next three Nations League fixtures including a 3:0 home reversal against Iceland. 

The hosts come into this fixture sitting bottom of Group C4 with just three points picked up from four matches. 

A lack of quality in front of goal has been the biggest issue. Luxembourg failed to score in their last three Nations League fixtures including both of their last two home fixtures. 

Head coach Strasser has significant selection problems to deal with this week. Christopher Martins, Leandro Barreiro, Danel Sinani, Seid Korac and Yvandro Borges are unavailable with various injury issues while Dirk Carlson is suspended. 

Laurent Jans and Eldin Dzogovic return to the squad, with Anthony Moris and Vincent Thill among the likely starters.

Estonia travel to Luxembourg after a hard-fought goalless home draw against Iceland in their latest Nations League fixture last month.

Jurgen Henn's side restricted Iceland to one shot on target, but also struggled to create clear cut opportunities in a tight affair at A. Le Coq Arena.

Unbeaten in League C, Group 4, Estonia claimed an impressive 1:0 win against Luxembourg three days before their 0:0 against the Icelanders.

The Blueshirts had started the competition with two away draws, claiming a 1:1 in Iceland and a 0:0 in Bulgaria.

Coming into Friday’s fixture, the visitors sit second in Group C4 with six points from four fixtures, two behind leaders Iceland.

Defensively improved, Estonia kept clean sheets in five of their last six matches and in each of their last three fixtures. All four of their recent Nations League matches finished with under 2.5 goals.

At the other end, Estonia remain short in quality. Henn's men scored just four goals in their seven most recent matches. 

Head coach Henn has a 25-man squad available this week. Rauno Sappinen, Vlasiy Sinyavskiy, Marten Kuusk, Markus Soomets and Robi Saarma are notable injury absentees for the away side.
