Lithuania vs Netherlands Prediction & Tips
Lithuania’s international commitments continue to stall, and the draw against Malta, salvaged by a 97th-minute penalty, speaks for itself. Edgaras Jankauskas’ side are winless in their last 12 matches, picking up just two points in the first four rounds of qualifying. On the pitch, only Torino midfielder Gvidas Gineitis, the only player in the Lithuanian squad who plays in one of Europe’s big five leagues, stands out.
Ronald Koeman’s side surprisingly let the win slip away against Poland, despite dominating possession for most of the game and creating numerous chances. Denzel Dumfries’ goal seemed to seal the game, but an unfortunate rebound from Matty Cash’s shot condemned the Dutch in the closing minutes. Still, the Netherlands held on to top the group thanks to their goal difference: 11 goals in three games.
