Lithuania and Liechtenstein meet on November 16, 2026, in the sixth round of League D of the UEFA Nations League. The visitors have only one option: win.
Lithuania vs Liechtenstein: team news and expert analysis
Lithuania failed to win the Baltic Cup this summer, drawing with Latvia (though they advanced on penalties) before losing to Estonia. They opened their Nations League campaign with a win over their current opponents. But they then picked up just one point from two matches against Azerbaijan, despite thrashing Andorra 3-0 in a friendly.
Liechtenstein are living up to their status as European football’s leading underdogs. They did manage to surprise everyone by drawing away to Azerbaijan in October. But before that, they had suffered five straight defeats, both in friendlies and in the Nations League match against Lithuania. And after that 0-0 draw, they went on to lose 2-0 to Gibraltar in a friendly.
The Baltic side will play only this match during the current international window. Liechtenstein faced group favourites Azerbaijan, but still lost, albeit by a narrow 1-0 margin.
