Prediction: 1-2
Bulgaria
Lithuania and Bulgaria face each other at LFF stadionas in what has to go down as a must-win game for the visitors. Bulgaria were producing fined displays in September qualifiers, with the team holding Italy to a 1-1 draw, while beating Lithuania thanks to Ivaylo Chochev’s goal. Second-choice goalkeeper Nikolay Mihaylov misses the match through suspension as he was sent off in the last group game.
Anyhow, away win should be considered as the Bulgarians aim to keep their qualification hopes alive. Lithuania are having a qualifying campaign to forget, and given their five-game losing run in Group C, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting team. Tomas Razanauskas could opt to make changes to the team that suffered a heavy 5-0 loss to Italy, with all Satkus, Magelaitis, and Barauskas are pushing for a start.

Bulgaria national football team are well known for their “Golden generation” of players led by Hristo Stoichkov. The Bulgarian football legend was producing thrilling performances for the national team at the 1994 FIFA World Cup in USA and he helped the Lions make it to the semi-finals of the tournament.
The likes of Trifon Ivanov, Krasimir Balakov and Yordan Letchkov enjoyed a very successful tournament as well and, no doubt, they recorded a historical result at the 1994 FIFA World Cup. The Bulgarians defeated Germany in the quarter-finals, but Italy proved to be a big catch for Dimitar Penev’s team. Bulgaria eventually suffered a heavy loss to Sweden in the third-place playoffs. Nowadays, Bulgaria struggle in qualifiers for major tournaments and it has to be noted that they have not participated at the finals since 1994.
