On Thursday, March 23, Slovakia will host Luxembourg at the Anton Malatinsk Stadium as part of UEFA Euro 2024 Group J qualifying. The game between the two teams will be their first since November. Chile held Slovakia to a goalless draw, and Luxembourg and Bulgaria played out a goalless draw.
At Euro 2020, the hosts failed to advance past the group stage, despite qualifying for the tournament in the previous two years. Luxembourg, on the other hand, placed fourth in Group B of Euro 2020 qualifying and has never advanced to the main event.
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Portugal, Iceland and Liechtenstein are the four different groups in what resembles an extreme Gathering J of the qualifiers. Bulgaria and Luxembourg played to a 0-0 draw in the International Friendlies match. In the course of their most recent sextet of matches, Luc Holtz’s Luxembourg have had eight chances to score. They have conceded a total of nine goals in those same matches.
Prediction
With just one victory in their last six games, both teams have struggled recently. In four of their last five games, they have scored at least once, and this may continue.
Despite Slovakia’s dominance over their eastern rivals, both teams may be a little rusty after a long absence. In light of the same, a low-scoring draw might occur.
Prediction: Slovakia vs. Luxembourg: 1-1 We anticipate that Slovakia will score the necessary goals against Luxembourg, who may have difficulty scoring. When time runs out, Slovakia is our pick to win by a score of 2-0.
