Luxembourg
Luxembourg has made significant progress in recent years, rising to 84th place in the FIFA rankings. Once considered perpetual underdogs, the team now achieves solid results, with more of its players featuring in reputable European clubs. Luxembourg was even a contender for a Euro 2024 spot, though they lost to Georgia in the playoff semifinals.
In the first round of the Nations League, Luxembourg was defeated 0-2 away by Northern Ireland, conceding both goals by the 16th minute. In the previous Nations League campaign, Luxembourg finished second in their group with 11 points, behind Turkey.
Belarus
Belarus, on the other hand, has declined in recent years and is currently ranked 99th in the FIFA standings. The individual quality of its players has been dropping steadily. In the Euro 2024 qualifiers, Belarus finished fourth in their group, ahead of only Kosovo and Andorra.
In their first-round match against Bulgaria, Belarus created few chances and the game ended in a 0-0 draw, despite Bulgaria having the upper hand.
