After being named Bosnia-Herzegovina manager for the second time in his career in January, Faruk Hadzibegic got off to the perfect start, overseeing a commanding 3-0 home victory over Iceland.

As it proved, the honeymoon period lasted just one game, as Bosnia-Herzegovina rounded off the March international window with a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Slovakia.

They were unable to claim a positive result in Saturday's away trip to Portugal, falling to a heavy 3-0 defeat following a Bernardo Silva strike and Bruno Fernandes brace.

Bosnia-Herzegovina are now sitting in fourth position, with four points separating them from Slovakia, who occupy the second qualification place.

Having won their last five home internationals, Bosnia-Herzegovina will be looking forward to returning to home surroundings after suffering consecutive away defeats.

Luxembourg picked up one point from their opening two qualifying games in March, which produced a goalless draw against Slovakia and a heavy 6-0 defeat to Portugal.

In preparation for matchday three and four, Luc Holtz's side faced Malta in a friendly earlier this month, losing by a narrow 1-0 scoreline.

After going five internationals without a win, the Red Lions may have entered Saturday's home fixture with Liechtenstein in low spirits.

However, they ended the contest in a jovial mood after recording a 2-0 victory thanks to goals from Danel Sinani and Gerson Rodrigues.

Luxembourg, who sit in third place in Group J, will now head on their travels, and they will be looking to claim their first away victory in European Championship qualifying since October 2007.

We say: Bosnia-Herzegovina 2-1 Luxembourg

Bosnia-Herzegovina have won all seven of their previous meetings with Luxembourg, and we think that they will utilise home advantage to continue that winning record and claim their second victory of the qualifying campaign.
