In this UEFA Nations League match, Bulgaria host Luxembourg. Neither team has points in the table to play for in a league format. Only the result of this match will determine the direction of the group, so it is a game where both sides must take something from it. Bulgaria just won 2-1 in World Cup qualifying in November, and in the cup competition in March they won both matches, but their last two matches in friendlies ended without a win. Luxembourg also just won 1-0 in a friendly, and before that they won two straight in the Nations League. The pattern from the last 10 matches shows Luxembourg have more possession (49.9% per match compared to Bulgaria's 36.8%) and slightly fewer shots on target, but Bulgaria at home have scored 6 goals in the first half in 7 matches. This game is likely to see Bulgaria trying to push the game forward while Luxembourg rely on counter-attacks. What to watch from the first whistle is how quickly Bulgaria can set up their attack, because if they have to chase the game, the match will change immediately.
