Luxembourg may have lived up to expectation by failing to mount a serious challenge for the qualification places in Group A, but a victory over Belarus and draws with Bulgaria and, amazingly, France during the qualifiers for the World Cup suggest they are improving as a nation and might not be considered whipping boys when the qualifiers for Euro 2020 come around. After qualifying for the 2016 European Championships and putting in some decent performances, many thought Hungary would mount a serious challenge for the top two places in Group B. However, the Hungarians finished third in the group, fourteen points behind Switzerland and Portugal, having considerably under performed in games where they were expected to win comfortably.
Its been six years since the two nations last went head to head, and on that day just one goal was scored as Hungary pinched a narrow victory in Luxembourg. The pair went in level at the break, but Szabics scored what turned out to be the winning goal eight minutes after the restart after coming off the bench to replace Elek at half time.
Hungary have won all of the nine matches between the countries, and head into Thursday’s friendly as the bookies favourites to take all three points. However, it’s the home side Luxembourg that have earned the title of form favourites ahead of kick off, after they won two, drew two, and lost two of their last six in all competitions. Hungary have lost four and won two during that same period, but do hold an historical advantage over Luxembourg, as well as having higher quality players in their squad.
Three of both countries last six matches have produced over 2.5 goals, and with this being a friendly we believe both sides will play with a lot less pressure on their shoulders and view this game as winnable. Hopefully that is going to lead to goals being scored as there is nothing worse than a dull international game. Luxembourg captain Aurélien Joachim has twelve goals for his country and will lead from the front on Thursday. Priskin has netted seventeen goals for Hungary and midfielder, and captain, Dzsudzsák will provide a threat from the centre of the park with twenty-one goals already scored.
We’re predicting that over 2.5 goals will be scored during Thursday’s game, with both sides fancying their chances of a win and adopting open and attacking styles of play. As for a final score, well, we’re backing Hungary to continue their fine record against Luxembourg via a narrow, hard fought and entertaining 2-1 win.

These two nations meet on the football field for the tenth time on Thursday, and all of the previous nine matches have gone the way of Hungary.
