Turkey to win to nil
There is no denying that the obvious tip for this game is to back a Turkey win, however, that won't be booking you any attractive odds. With that in mind, we've stepped things up a notch with our first prediction by backing the hosts to win the game to nil. That is something they've managed to do in each of their last four games meaning their current Nations League record stands at four played, four wins and zero goals against. Combine that defensive solidity with a Luxembourg side that has lost two of their last five matches without scoring and a win to nil looks more than realistic. You can throw in the head to head record too; three of the last four meetings between these sides have seen Turkey win with clean sheets to boot.
Under 2.5 goals
Our next prediction for this match sees us opting for a low scoring game – specifically we're going for under 2.5 goals. Turkey have gone under the 2.5 cut off in each of their last two games whilst four of Luxembourg's last five matches have also fallen south of the all important 2.5 threshold. When you then consider that three of the last five head to head clashes have also gone under that marker there is plenty to support such a bet. With the odds that are on offer along with the respective form and head to head records, there is plenty of reasons to get betting!

Turkey to tie down top spot
There is one really obvious thing to note where this match is concerned; Turkey will win the group – and win promotion to League B – with a draw or victory. Luxembourg meanwhile need to grab a win to keep their hopes of topping the group alive.
Turkey have been close to irresistible so far in this competition; they've won every game, scored plenty of goals and remain unpenetrated at the back. With the prospect of guaranteeing promotion there for them, they'll be desperate to get the job done here.
Turkey Key Player – Serdar Dursun
Luxembourg are an example of why the Nations League works so well as a tournament; they've started to really showcase themselves as a half decent outfit, which never happened in the ‘old ways' of playing. Will they have enough to grab a win here though?
