Champions League qualifying preview

There are four tiers of the Nations League and the very fact that Luxembourg aren't in the bottom one suggests all's well in the footballing world of the Grand Duchy.

For so long the laughing stock of Europe, Luxembourg are improving at international level and also at club level, where F91 Dudelange are flying the flag more than respectably in the Champions League.

And they can keep that pennant raised for a while longer yet by taking care of Pyunik in the second leg of their second-round tie.

It was a pretty thankless draw for Carlos Fangueiro's charges, who earned their trip to Armenia courtesy of home and away wins over FK Tirana.

But they took the trek on the chin, arrived in Yerevan as pretty decent underdogs and flew home with a 1-0 win under their belts courtesy of Samir Hadji's penalty.

And it was a win that didn't flatter Dudelange, having almost matched their hosts chance for chance and seen more of the ball, so take them to finish off the job in their own backyard.

Eleven of the 12 ties are pretty much on a knife-edge, the one exception being Shamrock Rovers against Ludogorets, the Irish champs having been thumped 3-0 in Bulgaria by hugely experienced Euro raiders.

The task is likely to be well beyond Stephen Bradley's side but they can at least go down with a fight. Rovers need to stay positive, they may well get picked off, and so backing over 2.5 goals could offer some value.
