Luxembourg vs France: will France consolidate their lead in the Euro U21 qualifiers?
As part of the qualification campaign for the UEFA European Under-21 Championship, Luxembourg will face France. This match will take place on Thursday, March 26, with kick-off at 19:30 CET. I suggest a bet on this fixture.
Luxembourg vs France: match facts and head-to-head
- Luxembourg have won one of their five matches.
- France are unbeaten in five matches: four wins and one draw.
- France have scored at least once in five consecutive matches.

Luxembourg vs France: match preview
Luxembourg have not enjoyed much success in this qualifying group. In five matches, the team have managed just one win, beating Switzerland 2:1 in their previous outing. Prior to that, they went on a four-game winless run, recording three defeats and one draw. As a result, Luxembourg currently sit fifth in the group with four points from five matches. They are five points behind second place, and mounting a challenge will be extremely difficult, especially with two fixtures against France still to come.
France currently top the qualifying standings, despite having played one match fewer than the other teams. Les Bleus have collected ten points from four games, with three wins and one draw. They are the clear favourites in the group and have strong chances of reaching the final tournament, where they have consistently performed well. At the last UEFA Under-21 European Championship, France advanced to the knockout stage and reached the semi-finals, where they were beaten 0:3 by Germany.
Probable line-ups
- Luxembourg: Margato – Irigoen, Agostinelli, Helmar Tavares, Lochei – Goncalves, Afonso, Englaro – Berberi, Elshan, Videira
- France: Risser – Metali, Jaquet, Yoro, Kanvo – Bouaddi, Cisse, Ugochukwu – Mayulu, Tel, Odobert
Prediction
France have an excellent opportunity to secure victory and strengthen their grip on top spot in the standings. I suggest betting on Les Bleus’ team total over 2.5.
