Luxembourg kicked off their Nations League campaign with a 2-1 win over Bulgaria – a first triumph over them after 17 straight winless H2Hs.
However, they have slumped to back-to-back defeats without scoring since then, pushing them to third position in the group.
Jeff Strasser’s men have now failed to score in 10 of their last 15 outings, and their H2H record against the Bulgarians remains ominous despite their recent victory.
Two players are confirmed missing for Luxembourg: Daniel Sinani and Laurent Jans.
As for Bulgaria, no new injuries or suspensions have been reported, and interim boss Atanas Ribarski will travel to Luxembourg with a fit squad.
The visitors have been the least impressive side in the group, failing to win any of their three outings so far.
After falling to Luxembourg first, a goalless draw with Estonia followed, before Iceland thrashed them 3-0 in their previous match.
Their away form is dismal to say the least, with only three wins to show for in 10 previous trips.

Whispers predicts: Luxembourg 1-1 Bulgaria
According to Bet365, at 12/5 (3.40), a draw is a bet worth considering, with both sides failing to impress in their opening three games. Luxembourg may have won the reverse fixture, but their home form isn’t convincing at all, with only one win in four hostings.
Asen Chandarov is score or assist anytime at 7/5 (2.40) offers immense value. Five of his last nine goals have served as the match opener, including in the reverse fixture.
Under 2.5 total goals at 4/7 (1.57) is worth considering as well, although nine of Bulgaria’s last 11 competitive games have gone over the mark. Both sides seem out of form, and a low-scoring encounter is likely.
> Match result – Draw at 12/5 (3.40) | Likelihood: Likely
> Asen Chandarov is score or assist anytime at 7/5 (2.40) | Likelihood: Probable
> Under 2.5 total goals at 4/7 (1.57) | Likelihood: Probable
