Luxembourg and Slovakia go head-to-head in Group J of the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers on Monday (October 16).
The hosts failed to find their feet on Friday, as they could only salvage a 1-1 draw with Iceland at the Laugardalsvöllur Stadium. Before that, Luc Holtz's men saw their three-game winning streak come to an end on September 11, courtesy of a 9-0 hammering against already-qualified Portugal.
With 11 points from seven games, Luxembourg are third in Group J, two points and one place behind Slovakia.
Meanwhile, Slovakia were denied consecutive qualifying wins, as they suffered a 3-2 defeat to Portugal. The Falcons have lost two of their last three games, with a 3-0 win over Liechtenstein on September 11 sandwiched between the two defeats.
Francesco Calzona’s men are 48th in the FIFA rankings, 37 places above Luxembourg.
