Luxembourg – Bulgaria PREDICTION & TIPS
10th and final day of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Europe. In group A, Luxembourg face Bulgaria.
The two nations no longer play anything. No benefit in terms of motivation
Luxembourg are still struggling with Belarus not to finish the last of the standings. However, the Luxemburgish nationals, who were hungry on the field of France in the 8th round (0-0), followed a humiliation suffered in Sweden last weekend (8-0).
Having finished fourth in this pool A, Bulgaria now finishes the free-wheeling competition. Beaten in the Netherlands the previous day (3-1), the Bulgarians narrowly fell home against France last Saturday (0-1). No advantage over the form
Luxembourg will not be able to count on midfielder Jans (suspended) and substitute striker Deville (Waldhof), injured, while the important Bensi, Chanot (MLS) and Lars Gerson are still out of the group. Defender Mahmutovic and middle Janisch are announced uncertain. All other leaders are present as goalkeeper Joubert (Dudelange), Philipps, Thill (Metz), Mutsch (Progres Nidercorn), Martins (OL), Da Mota (Racing) and Joachim (Lierse).
There are a few important players missing for Bulgaria: Tonev (Crotone) and Milanov (CSKA Moscow) are injured, while Popov (Spartak Moscow) and Chochev (Palermo) are suspended. Captain until last June, Dyakov is still absent just like former goalkeeper No. 1 Stoyanov. Absence also of the defender who replaced Terziev. Otherwise, the coach can rely on his strong men Strakhil Popov (who plays in Turkey), Manolev, Bodurov (CSKA Sofia) and Kostadinov (Maccabi Haifa). Slight advantage Bulgaria on paper
