Luxembourg and Iceland will go head-to-head at the Luxembourg Stadium in Group J of the 2024 European Championship qualifiers on Friday. Luxembourg just needs to win the match to keep their hopes of reaching Germany alive. The hosts made it two wins from two in the Euro 2024 qualifiers. This run saw them edge out Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0 at the Bilino Polje last time. Before that, Luc Holtz’s side defeated Liechtenstein 2-0. This victory also saw them grab their first victory of the qualifiers and snap their five-match winless run. With seven points, Luxembourg is currently third in Group J.
On the other hand, Iceland has been eliminated from the qualifiers and will be playing for pride. Iceland’s qualification dreams came to an end last time only when they fell to a 1-0 loss against Portugal at Laugardalsvollur. The Scandinavian side has lost three of its four games in Group J. The only beacon of light has been the 7-0 hammering of Liechtenstein. Currently, Iceland is in fourth place in Group J with three points from a probable 12. This places them in the fourth position in the group. However, to cross the threshold, Iceland still needs seven points from two games. Naturally, that looks far from possible
Luxembourg‘s probable starting lineup: Moris, Jans, Mahmutovic, Chanot, Bohnert, Olesen, Martins Pereira, Barreiro, Sinani, Curci, Borges Sanches
Iceland’s probable starting lineup: Runarsson, Sampsted, Palsson, Hermannsson, Magnusson, Haraldsson, Gudmundsson, Traustason, Thorsteinsson, Finnbogason, Oskarsson
