Luxembourg Preview – Can Holtz’s Red Devils cause another huge upset?
By their standards, Luxembourg have had a pretty good World Cup qualifying campaign. They have picked up three wins from their seven games, though they have also suffered four losses.
The Red Lions started their campaign with a memorable win over Ireland at the Aviva Stadium. Gerson Rodriguez was the hero, scoring five minutes from time to give Luxembourg a famous 1-0 victory. Luc Holtz’s side also beat Azerbaijan at home in September. They secured their third Group A win with a 3-1 success in Baku on Thursday.
Luxembourg would love to finish in third spot, and a positive result on Sunday will do the business. The bookies are offering 5/2 for a home win.
Republic of Ireland Preview – Will the Irish extend their unbeaten run?
Stephen Kenny’s Republic of Ireland have had a World Cup qualifying campaign to forget. The Irish never recovered from their matchday two loss to Luxembourg, going on to take just six points from their following five group games.
Ireland have been tough to beat of late, though, winning one and drawing three of four since that gut-wrenching defeat in Portugal on 1st September. Their one and only victory was a 3-0 success in Azerbaijan last month. On Thursday, the Boys in Green held Portugal to a 0-0 draw in Dublin.
