LUXEMBOURG - BULGARIA QUALIFICATIONS FOR SP, GROUP A. October 10, 2017, 21:45


Luxembourg accepts Bulgaria in a qualifying match of Group A for the World Championship in Russia next year.

The meeting is from the last round of qualifying, with only the hosts having chances to change their ranking in the group. Currently, Luxembourg has equal points with the fifth in the group Belarus, who also visits France in Paris. This means that even a tie against Bulgaria can send Luxembourg to fifth in the final standings.

As for Bulgaria, Petar Hubchev's "Lions" will surely finish their fourth place. The Bulgarian team can not beat the third Holland, nor can it be removed from the fourth place. However, it would be good for Bulgaria to end their participation in the winning group, which would provide the lions with a decent asset of 15 points.

Bulgaria will try to break the tournament in the current qualification campaign. So far, the native team has lost all of its guests in the group, which is largely the reason for the Bulgarians not to fight for anything more. It remains to be seen whether this "holiday complex" will also be retained against the Luxembourg team.

It should be noted that Luxembourg has long been the football dwarf, which everyone can win without much effort. The Ducati team earns a draw in their visit to the French group leader, and the five-point asset says the team already knows how to score points. We must remember how difficult it was for Bulgaria to beat Luxembourg in Sofia. Then the native team won a dramatic success with 4: 3 in Sofia, which needed a goal in the last minutes of Alexander Tonev.

Bulgaria is the favorite in the game, of course, but no one should think that the game will be easy. Luxembourg is a far better team than we did before, and we think the Dukes will show teeth.
