In the 6th round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Europe, a match between the national teams of Luxembourg and Slovakia will take place on September 7, 2025. Each side believes they have a chance for success.
Our Prediction for Luxembourg vs Slovakia
The Luxembourg team recently showed hope for a long-awaited breakthrough, aspiring to qualify for a "major" tournament. However, they lost their first Euro qualification playoff match last spring to Georgia 0-2. In the autumn, they failed in the Nations League, finishing last in a group with Northern Ireland, Bulgaria, and Belarus. In 2025, Luxembourg managed to surprise Sweden by beating them in a friendly, but then lost to Switzerland and Slovenia, and played to a goalless draw with Ireland.
Slovakia participated in the Euro and even progressed to the playoffs. However, in the Nations League, they missed out on the top spot in the group to Sweden, and in March's playoff encounters, their opponents scored during extra time after goalless draws. Then, in June, they lost friendlies to both Greece and Israel.
In September, Luc Holtz's squad started against familiar opponents—Northern Ireland. All they could manage was to respond to the opening goal, but eventually conceded again. The current visitors hosted Germany and produced a sensation, confidently beating the favorites.
