Northern Ireland vs Lithuania Prediction & Tips
Lithuania closes its world qualifiers in Qatar 2022 by visiting Northern Ireland with the only goal of closing with dignity a path that has not been too positive up to now (to put it mildly). Northern Ireland, on the other hand, will still have another match to play in the last round and could be the tip of the balance of qualification, given that they will host Italy, right after the decisive match between the Azzurri and Switzerland. The goal is to beat Lithuania and not disfigure against Mancini’s players, but the focus is certainly on the first match, because failing the match against the last in the standings would be a really hard blow to swallow …
Yes, because Lithuania have lost six out of seven games so far and the only match they have won is the one they won at home (and it must be said, even surprisingly) against Bulgaria (3-1 the final result).
In total, Lithuania only scored four goals in seven games played, three of which were scored in the single game they won against Bulgaria. Not quite what one would call a prolific offensive department …
On the other hand, the Lithuanians scored the missing goal in the first stage played at home against Northern Ireland, clearly won by the visitors 1-4.
Northern Ireland have played two home games so far and have conceded no goals in both cases: both against Switzerland and Bulgaria, the two games ended 0-0.
In total, however, the hosts have only scored five goals in seven games, but the Irish have actually scored four of them against Lithuania in the first leg.
Northern Ireland need to pull together to make up for a not-so-thrilling path, which recently resulted in two defeats against Bulgaria and Switzerland. Given the difficulties of the two teams in the completed phase, however, we focus on the No Goal option which offers a more generous share.
