The upcoming match in the UEFA Nations League will feature Bulgaria and Luxembourg. The match will take place at Stadion Hristo Botev in Plovdiv.
Bulgaria
Bulgaria is enjoying somewhat of a Renaissance under the management of Ilian Iliev, whose appointment in November 2023 has been nothing but a blessing in disguise. Ilev has yet to lose as the national team boss, with his side avoiding defeat in the last eight games (D6, W2).
Bulgaria head into this match off the back of a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Northern Ireland in the UNL League C. This was their first competitive win in almost two years. So far, they are tied on points with Belarus in a winnable Group C3 table and will undeniably fancy their chances of earning promotion to League B for the first time since 2021.
Luxembourg
Providing the opposition this time around is Luxembourg, who makes the trip to Stadion Hristo Botev on the back of a lackluster UNL campaign. After two games, they are rooted to the bottom of the table in League C, making promotion to League B nothing but a distant dream.
A 1-0 defeat to Belarus last time out was their second consecutive defeat in this competition. However, this also extended their losing streak to four matches across all competitions. They will be hoping to get back to winning ways and find their rhythm that witnessed them suffer just one of their last seven UNL games (W3, D3).
