It is impossible not to notice the improvement of Bulgaria since Iliyan Iliev took over. Although mainly with draws, there is no longer a loss of eight consecutive matches, which until recently seemed impossible. Bulgaria managed to record a victory in their last match with a score of 1:0 against Northern Ireland, which was played at the "Hristo Botev" stadium in Plovdiv, where the upcoming match will also take place. Speculations arose again about Iliyan Iliev's lineup, but the coach justified his choice appropriately and responded to them.
Luxembourg has definitely shown progress in recent years. Thanks to the Nations League, they played in the play-offs for European qualification. However, they did not start the competition well now after losses of 0:1 at home to Belarus and 0:2 as a guest from Northern Ireland. So Luxembourg has now accumulated a total of four consecutive losses without scoring a goal, which also happened in their last four away games.
Prediction: win for Bulgaria, under 2.5 goalsBulgaria has stabilized lately, while Luxembourg has not been up to par in their recent matches and even entered a series of losses. I think they could lose again now, with no conditions for many goals in the match. The matches of both teams lately have had very few goals.
