The Euro Champ Qualifiers match between Luxembourg and Bosnia-Herzegovina will take place at Luxembourg Stadium on Friday at 1:15 am IST.
Luxembourg, one of the standout performers in Euro 2024 qualifying, seeks to maintain their chances of automatic qualification when they face Bosnia-Herzegovina on Thursday. Bosnia has already been eliminated from the competition due to a disappointing campaign. Luxembourg’s hopes for automatic qualification hinge on Iceland’s performance against Slovakia in another Group J matchup. The outcome of this match will determine whether Luxembourg can stay in contention as they approach the final matchday.
Luxembourg faces the realization that their chances of reaching a first-ever major tournament have likely slipped away following a defeat to Slovakia on matchday eight. With an inferior head-to-head record against Slovakia, Luxembourg must win their final two qualifiers against Bosnia and Liechtenstein while hoping the team in second place loses both their matches against Iceland and Bosnia. Despite a promising start with a 3-1 win over Iceland, Luxembourg’s form has declined, including a 9-0 loss to Portugal. While already guaranteed a playoff spot in Path C, where they may face Georgia, Greece, or Kazakhstan, Luxembourg’s historical quest for a major tournament spot under coach Luc Holtz hangs in the balance. Bosnia’s chances have already been extinguished after a disappointing campaign.
Since their notable achievement of reaching the 2014 World Cup and narrowly missing out on two preceding major tournaments, the Bosnian national team has faced significant challenges. In all six prior Euro campaigns since gaining independence from Yugoslavia, Bosnia has fallen short, despite the tournament’s expansion to 24 teams. Although hopes for Euro 2024 qualification aren’t extinguished, Bosnia’s recent form is troubling, with five consecutive losses, including a humiliating defeat at home to their upcoming opponents. The fans’ dissatisfaction is evident, and their home record is not impressive, with an even worse performance in away games, securing just three victories in five years, against Liechtenstein and Kazakhstan.
Luxembourg probable starting lineup: Moris, Jans, Gerson, Chanot, Martins, V Thill, Barreiro Martins, Martins Pereira, S Thill, Sinani, Rodrigues
Bosnia-Herzegovina probable starting lineup: Vasilj, Dedic, Hadzikadunic, Kovacevic, Gazibegovic, Hadziahmetovic, Cimirot, Krunic, Stevanovic, Demirovic, Tahirovic
