Football in Luxembourg 🇱🇺

𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒/𝟐𝟓 𝖇𝖌𝖑 𝖑𝖎𝖌𝖚𝖊 𝖕𝖔𝖜𝖊𝖗 𝖗𝖆𝖓𝖐𝖎𝖓𝖌𝖘 A short thread about each team's summer and their prospects for the new season. Quick summaries, a few bold takes and a prediction that will go horribly wrong as soon as physically possible. Enjoy!

FULL-TIME 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Dundee United 1⃣🆚0⃣ Strassen🇱🇺 A narrow loss; a much better scoreline than was perhaps first expected. Decent effort from UNA, even though the Scots' physical superiority was evident in the last half-hour or so. On to next week and the rematch! #DUFCUNA

47' Zac Sapsford opens the scoring from Krisztián Keresztes' assist. Tough start to the second half for UNA. Keep fighting, 1-0 is still absolutely fine away from home 💪 #DUFCUNA 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿1️⃣🆚0️⃣🇱🇺

HALF-TIME 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Dundee United 0⃣🆚0⃣ UNA Strassen🇱🇺 One pixel for each team on my stream. 59% possession for UNA so far, enough for defensive stability and organisation. Not a lot of shots but that was expected - great strength in front of our goal so far. #DUFCUNA 🦁

LINE-UP #DUFCUNA 3 at the back, Edis Agović can either be a winger or a 10 behind the two strikers. Similarly, Delgado has the ability to play as a half-back supporting Diogo & Vova. Lots of exciting options here, let's see what DUFC come up with 👍 Game in an hour! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇱🇺

Glad to have provided a bit of insight for @dundeeunitedfc's official matchday programme. You can read it below and see my bit on Strassen (some of the words are mine, photos aren't). I personally love the design, top-notch job 👏 DUFC vs UNA Strassen tonight!

🟢 HALF-TIME 🟢 The New Saints 0️⃣🆚1️⃣ FC Differdange A decent first half, started by a string of 🇱🇺 opportunities before TNS settled into the game. FCD still have the upper hand though, and converted their dominance into a goal through Artur Abreu. Keep going 🥳 #TNSFCD

GOALLLLLL!!!! Artur Abreu opens the scoring in England!! FC Differdange find themselves 1-0 up after 38 minutes - deservedly so! 🇬🇧0️⃣🆚1️⃣🇱🇺

In all truth, FC Differdange did beat Bala Town 3-1 in the return leg to go through on aggregate. 🙃

LINEUP #TNSFCD Tough game in Oswestry, FCD line up with 3 attackers for the first time this season. Injured Bruninho has been replaced with eye-catching talent Boris Mfoumou. Odds favour TNS but a draw here would be really useful for Diff 🤞

UNA Strassen face Dundee United in the Conference League tomorrow. Here's a little preview to their preparations, featuring their in-house top scorer, Brazilian striker Matheus! My article on RTL Today in English below: 👇 today.rtl.lu/sport/local/a/…

🇱🇺 Conference League DRAW: FC Differdange will face the winners of Levadia Tallinn vs Iberia 1899 if they defeat TNS in this round. UNA Strassen face the easy task of beating Dundee United and Rapid Wien or Dečić in the next two rounds of UECL if they are to prevail.

Brace yourselves... 👀

Luxembourg are the only country without a win OR draw in Europe this season. This week: The New Saints vs Differdange Dundee United vs Strassen Luxembourg are in danger of losing their fourth European berth 😑

Good news for groundhoppers 🫡

Understandably not too jolly to have witnessed a grand total of zero wins in 6 games for 🇱🇺 in Europe so far, hence limited motivation to report on games. But here's the wrap-up, elaborating on where each team stands after their respective eliminations 👇 today.rtl.lu/sport/local/a/…

OFFICIAL: Anthony Moris leaves @UnionStGilloise as a Belgian champion. A Luxembourgish national team icon, the goalkeeper is expected to be joining Al Khaleej of Saudi Arabia. Congratulations on an illustrious career and highly successful stint in Brussels, Antho! 🙌🦁

LINEUP for #F91 One change to the XI, striker Dinho is fit enough to start in Monteiro's place, adding some much-needed attacking threat. Aggregate: F91 0-2 Atlètic Escaldes Stream soon

LINEUP #RFCUL Racing Union have to overturn a 2-1 deficit from the first game in Luxembourg. Two changes to the XI, and a 4-3-3 instead of the kamikaze 4-2-4 this time, hopefully more successful in sharing the workload in midfield and preserving some stamina. Link from 🇬🇪 soon
