Scotland will meet Luxembourg in an international friendly fixture set to take place at Stade Josy Barthel on Sunday.

The Scots played out a 2-2 draw with the Netherlands on Wednesday evening, with Jack Hendry and Kevin Nisbet scoring for Steve Clarke’s side.

Memphis Depay scored a brace for the Dutch, including a sumptuous free-kick in the 89th minute.

There is a stark contrast between the form of the two sides. Scotland are unbeaten in their last four games, while Luxembourg have managed to secure one win out of their last six matches.

Luxembourg were beaten 1-0 by Norway in their last game, Borussia Dortmund sensation Erling Haaland’s strike in stoppage time securing a win for the Norwegians.

Luxembourg vs Scotland Prediction

Luxembourg are a much weaker side than Scotland on paper, and it won’t be surprising if the Scots dominate the game from kick-off.

Graham Clarke would like his side to punch above their weight in the upcoming Euros and a win against Luxembourg would serve as a perfect morale-booster.

We predict that Scotland will win this tie comfortably.

Prediction: Luxembourg 0-3 Scotland
