Both Teams to Score – Yes

Even though their last couple of h2h encounters produced some big-scoring games, the odds of that happening for Thursday's Slovakia vs Luxembourg duel don't look high. However, that doesn't mean both teams can't score a goal. Luxembourg has found some good players in recent times and in their last five matches they had three BTTS games while Slovakia had four in their past five. The only time the Slovaks didn't have a game with both teams scoring was in their last match, a friendly against Chile which ended in a goalless draw.
