Luxembourg vs Cyprus Prediction & Betting tips
On Saturday, at 14:00, Luxembourg will receive the replica of the Cyprus national team, in the third stage of group C1 of the UEFA League of Nations. Only Luxembourg seems to have solid demands for promotion to the top echelon: the hosts are on the 2nd place in the group, while the Cypriots are on the 4th. So far, the Cyprus national team is without a goal scored in this group!
On the Josy Barthel arena, the hosts start with the first chance to win. The Luxembourg players started to count at European level, and the last matches brought encouraging performances, even if the results were rather modest: a single success in five games. Luxembourg lost at home to Portugal (0-2), Montenegro (0-1) and Liechtenstein (1-2), but also away from Serbia (2-3). The only success was achieved in Azerbaijan, score 2-1. Overall, the white-and-blues have greatly increased their level in recent years and have become competitive.
On the other hand, Cyprus is in an even more difficult situation! With four consecutive defeats at home, the island’s national team played modestly with Scotland (1-2), Montenegro (0-2), Azerbaijan (0-1) and the Czech Republic (0-2), being shattered in the away match in Belgium. (1-6). With such a defensive balance sheet, it is difficult to make claims, but the guests have history on their side: they won both direct duels with Luxembourg, in 1997, in the 1998 World Cup preliminaries, with 3-1 and 2-0. This time we will bet on the Lilliputian state and we expect at least two goals in the match.
In the Luxembourg attack, the experimenters Stefano Bensi (Fola Esch) and Maurice Deville (Saarbrucken) will appear again, but there is quality among the host midfielders: Vincent Thill plays for Nacional, Olivier Thill plays for Ufa, Leandro Barreiro and Florian Bonhert play for Mainz, in the Bundesliga, and captain Laurent Jans is a player in Standard Liege. Trained by the Belgian Johan Walem, Cyprus boasts players at Frosinone (Kastanos), Olympiacos (Kosti), Roda Kerkrade (Ioannou) and Astana (Sotiriou), without high-level stars.
With a goal in Luxembourg, striker Pieros Sotiriou climbed to 3rd place in the top all-time scorers of the Cypriot national team;
The star of Luxembourg is Gerson Rodriguez (Dinamo Kiev), with 3 goals in his last 5 official matches;
Since 2018, Cyprus has won a single trip in which it started with a second chance to bet;
At least three goals have been scored in 3 of the last 5 matches played by both teams;
