A few minutes to go, so let’s take a look at some facts ahead of the first whistle.
Croatia arrive at their first ever match against Luxembourg with high ambitions, after their 30:23 win against Belgium in the opening round. With plenty of experience under their belt and steered by legendary Dagur Sigurdsson, Croatia are the clear favourites in today’s encounter. But even though Luxembourg started the qualifiers journey with a defeat, they have shown that they can keep up with the challenge, after an impressively strong performance against Czechia.
