Ace Football previews the international friendly match between Luxembourg and Scotland and offers betting tips, odds, and stats.
Scotland pay a visit to Luxembourg for one final friendly on Sunday evening before the summer’s European Championship begins.
The hosts hope to stop the rot.
It is a miserable time for Luxembourg right now with 1 win in the last 6 matches to show for their, admittedly, measly efforts. In their previous 3 matches, Luc Holtz’s side claimed a 1-0 win against Ireland and went on to a 3-1 defeat against Portugal. Their latest match served up a 1-0 defeat against Norway.
With no wins from their last 3 matches since November at home, Luxembourg need to raise their level to take all 3 points in a tough upcoming match.
Scots enjoy steady progress.
It has been up and down for Scotland going into this match as results offer little sense of progress. In their last 3 matches, Steve Clarke’s side split the points in a 1-1 draw against Israel, followed by a 4-0 win against the Faroe Islands. Their most recent match brought a 2-2 draw with the Netherlands.
Although Scotland are winless in each of their last 4 games on the road (D2 L2) and will hope to amend that before this summer’s European Championship.
