Our prediction for the match Lithuania vs Kosovo
“The Yellow and Greens” were able to show themselves with dignity in last year’s qualification, managing to collect 6 points and take the penultimate place in the group (that is a good result for the traditional outsider). By the way, “the Dardarians” also finished the qualification second from bottom, but they, at the same time, managed to take 11 points in 2023.
Speaking about the Nations League, “the Balts” have so far confirmed their status of the outsiders of their group. The team even lost to Cyprus at the home arena, as a result, a 1-3 result in Bucharest was not surprising (although the score was tied until the penalty in the 87th minute of the game). Franco Foda’s wards started the new cycle with a 0-3 score in the game against the Romanians. Still, then they created a real sensation, managing to crush Cyprus (4-0) with a double scored by Muriqi, which happened at the away arena.
Jankauskas narrowed the already limited personnel options due to the presence of injured players in the squad, like Golubickas, and guys without game practice who have not yet found a club, such as Novikovas. The guests had questions from the coaching staff about players like Muriqi, Zhegrova and Muslija, Berisha is injured.
