Northern Ireland vs Luxembourg Prediction & Betting Tips (17 November)

In Slovakia last week, Northern Ireland was playing for survival in these upcoming qualifiers. In the event of defeat, the end of Northern Ireland's hopes for a possible play-off qualification. It should still be noted that Northern Ireland won two of its first four matches, against Luxembourg in the first leg 1-3 and at home against the Slovaks 2-0. On the other hand, against Germany, no surprise, two defeats 3-1 and 0-1. Losing its first four days of qualifying, Luxembourg no longer had any glimmer of hope of qualifying for this month of November.

Of the 4 defeats, only 1 goal was scored. Defeats against Northern Ireland in the first leg 1-3, Slovakia 0-1, Germany 4-0 and against Slovakia 2-0. Overall, the Luxembourgers have not won for seven matches in all competitions. It now remains to be determined whether they will have been able to rectify the situation against Germany last week with the result to come.
