Luxembourg vs. Slovakia: preview and betting tips

The Slovaks have a key Euro 2024 qualifying match in Germany on Monday. Surprisingly, it will be on the soil of Luxembourg, which is clearly the dark horse of the group. What to expect from the match?

Luxembourg are experiencing a dream qualification, which could have been even better had the underdog hit an open goal in the setup in Iceland on Friday. As it is, the minnows are two points behind the Slovaks and need to win on Monday.

The Slovaks just opened qualifying with a home draw against Luxembourg, but since then they have only won apart from the double against Portugal. They have finally rejuvenated the squad, especially the defensive team has played well.

Luxembourg’s key figures

Sivasspor winger Gerson Rodrigues is in great form, striking seven times in the last 13 games for Luxembourg. Only one shot worse is striker Danel Sinani, who is in the second German league.

Slovakia’s key figures

Dávid Hancko has been a star scorer in the national jersey, with two goals in his last three games for Slovakia. Martin Dúbravka gave a heroic performance in Portugal, although he scored three times, he was clearly the visitors’ biggest star.

What to expect and what to bet on?

Luxembourg, paradoxically, are not very strong at home, having won only two of their last six matches here. For example, they were beaten by the Portuguese and even fell ignominiously at home to Malta.

Moreover, Slovakia has been on a shooting spree. The proof is not only the two hits in Portugal, but also the fact that it has scored more than once in four of the last six games. For example, in Iceland.

Considering the good atmosphere in the Slovaks’ squad, the increased confidence after the good performance in Porto and the poor home form of Luxembourg, I think the Slovaks will win and take a big step towards promotion.
