Cyprus vs Lithuania prediction and betting tips on November 15, 2024
Game Prediction
On November 15, 2024, Cyprus will host Lithuania in the 5th round of the UEFA Nations League. For Lithuania, a win over their direct competitor would allow them to avoid finishing last in the group.
Prediction for Cyprus vs Lithuania
The "Islanders" had a disappointing Euro qualification campaign last year. Although there were low expectations, finishing at the bottom of their group with zero points was seen as a major letdown. Lithuania, on the other hand, managed to accumulate six points in 2023, finishing above Bulgaria and avoiding the last spot.
This time around, Edgaras Jankauskas' squad is struggling immensely, failing to earn a single point in a relatively manageable group. Their campaign began with a 0-1 home loss to Cyprus, followed by two defeats to Romania and another home loss to Kosovo.
For Temuri Ketsbaia’s team, that victory against Lithuania was their only success thus far. However, under the guidance of his successor, Augusto, the team’s losses have continued. Still, a draw at home would be enough for Cyprus to avoid falling to the bottom of the group.
