Luxembourg vs Iceland Prediction 08.09.2023

• Competition: EURO Qualification
• Date: 08.09.2023
• Kickoff: 19:45 UTC +1 / 20:45 CEST
• Venue: Stade de Luxembourg (Luxembourg)

After a little more than three months, the qualifications for EURO 2024 continue.

In previous years, Luxembourg has gone from an absolute outsider in almost every game to a respectable opponent. The progress of this national team is huge and it can be seen in these qualifications, in which they have collected a big 7 points in the 4 matches played so far. Their victory against Bosnia & Herzegovina 2:0 will be talked about for a long time, which is probably the biggest victory in the history of this small country. Their appetites are growing now and we will see how realistic it is for them to get involved in the fight for second place in the group.

On the other hand, Iceland is in a very difficult position because they have already suffered three defeats, with the expected victory against Liechtenstein. In the last match played, they put up a lot of resistance against the favored Portugal, but in the very end of the match, the best scorer of all time, Cristiano Ronaldo, decided against them, thus reducing their chances of qualifying for the EURO to a minimum. This match is a real test for them and they will give the answer to whether Iceland can get out of the result crisis.

Luxembourg vs Iceland pick: LUXEMBOURG TO WIN

Although Iceland has had a better reputation in recent years, things have changed a bit lately. Not so long ago, Iceland also played in the quarter-finals of the EURO, where they knocked out England along the way, but since then they have been in free fall. This squad no longer have the necessary strength and talent and it is increasingly difficult to deal with opponents of similar quality.

Luxembourg is in a rush. They have more and more young footballers in the strongest European leagues, and they also have continuity on the bench because Luc Holtz has been the selector of this national team for 13 years. The host is closer to victory in this match.
