Luxembourg preview: Hoping for their first win in the competition
After winning just two points from five games in the Nations League, Luxembourg are last in their group and can't move up, which means they're at risk of getting relegated to League D. Whether they will get relegated or participate in the relegation playoffs will depend on results in the last round and the final ranking of fourth-placed teams.
