Prediction: 0-1
Kosovo
Following back-to-back losses to Cyprus and Romania, Lithuania will look to give fans something to cheer about when they face Kosovo in their third group game. Lithuania failed to impress in the September fixtures and it is no wonder the odds for away win have been dropping. A man to watch in the home team will be talented Celje forward Armandas Kucys, who found the net in a 2-1 win over Maribor at the weekend.
The Kosovars, on the other hand, rolled over Cyprus 4-0 in their second group game and given Lithuania’s slow start, away win should definitely be considered. When the two teams met in a friendly three years ago, Kosovo outclassed Lithuania 4-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Vedat Muriqi remains in the recovery room and, in his absence, Sparta Prague forward Albion Rrahmani is widely expected to lead the line for the away team.
Highlighted Team (Lithuania):
Lithuania was occupied by Soviet Union in 1940 and 50 years later they regained their independence. The Lithuania national football team played their first official game on June 24, 1923, with the team suffering a heavy 5-0 loss to Estonia in Kaunas.
The former Soviet republic have yet to book their place at the finals of a major tournament, but they were competitive in the UEFA Euro 2004 qualifiers as they managed to play out a draw with Germany on the road. Lithuania managed to beat Scotland in the qualifiers for the 2004 European Championship, but they eventually failed to book their place at the showpiece tournament in Portugal. Marius Stankevicius is considered Lithuania’s most notable footballer as he played for the likes of Lazio, Hannover, Sampdoria, Sevilla and Valencia in the past.
LFF Stadium is the home ground of the Lithuania national football team and the venue, who capacity is 5.067, was opened in 2004. Lithuania play their home games on artificial turf.
