Sun Sep 08 13:30:22 UTC 2024: ## Luxembourg Aim for Victory Against Struggling Belarus in Nations League Clash

Luxembourg will be looking to bounce back from their opening Nations League C defeat when they host Belarus at Stade de Luxembourg on Sunday. The home side currently sits bottom of the group with no points after losing 2-0 to Northern Ireland, while Belarus is in second place with one point following a goalless draw with Bulgaria.

Despite dominating possession against Northern Ireland, Luxembourg struggled to create chances, managing just one shot on target. Defensive vulnerabilities were also exposed, with the team facing 12 shots inside their own box. This highlights a concerning trend for the Red Lions, who have conceded 11 goals in their last five matches and have only kept one clean sheet in their last eleven.

However, Luxembourg boasts a strong home record, winning four of their last five matches at Stade de Luxembourg. They will be hoping to capitalize on Belarus’s poor form, which sees them winless in their last five matches, failing to score in any of those games.

Belarus will be aiming to break their scoring drought and secure their first victory under new manager Carlos Alos Ferrer. The team’s defensive record has been decent, with two clean sheets, but they have also conceded 10 goals in three other games.

While the match is expected to be a tight affair, Luxembourg’s home advantage and Belarus’s struggles in front of goal suggest a potential victory for the home side.

**Possible Starting Lineups:**

**Luxembourg:** Moris; Jans, Gerson, Carlson, Pinto; Bohnert, Pereira, Barreiro, Veiga; Olesen, Rodrigues

**Belarus:** Lapoukhov; Kavalyow, Volkov, Martynovich, Zabelin, Pechenin; Yablonski, Kaplenko, Ebong; Shikavka, Antilevski

This match promises to be a crucial encounter for both sides as they strive for a positive start to their Nations League C campaign.
