Luxembourg head into their penultimate World Cup Qualification WCQ fixture knowing the challenge ahead is enormous. The Red Lions have endured a miserable campaign so far, having lost all four matches and scored just a single goal.History is set to repeat itself unless a miracle occurs, as defeats in the next two fixtures would see Luxembourg finish a WCQ cycle pointless for the first time since 2006.
Despite the grim statistics, home advantage could offer some encouragement Luxembourg have avoided defeat in three of their last six home matches, and they will hope to exploit any early German complacency in front of their fans.
However, the Red Lions' offensive struggles remain their biggest concern. With just one goal in four games, creating scoring opportunities against Germany's organized defence will be difficult. Coach Luc Holtz will be counting on Danel Sinani, who has scored four of his last five international goals after the hour mark, to inject some life into Luxembourg's attack.
