Lithuania vs Ukraine Prediction & Tips
Lithuania receives the leader of Group B, Ukraine, in this match of Qualifiers for Euro 2020 (EE) with the hope of registering their first victory in the competition (E1, P2). However, he has not won in his last eight official home matches (E2, P6) and has not recorded victories in that condition since 2016.
In particular, Lithuania has allowed the first goal in each of those eight matches and in each of those clashes it has not been able to score before the break. Meanwhile, the fact that he has not left his goal unbeaten on just one occasion will surely be of concern to coach Valdas Urbonas.
For its part, Ukraine comes to this clash trying to take advantage in the historical record of matches against Lithuania (G2, P2). The visiting team is usually comfortable as a stranger, since they have lost only one of their last eight games away from home (G4, E3, P1) and in five of those matches they did not receive goals against.
Most likely,Ukraine will not receive goals against if it wins, something that has happened in all but two of its nine historic victories as a visitor in the US. Despite that, Ukraine may also feel motivated as it has won two of the last three official away matches in which it has allowed the first goal (G2, P1).
