Lithuania hoped to finally achieve a victory on Thursday when they hosted Malta at home. Not only did they fail to win, but they barely managed to secure a 1:1 draw with a last-minute penalty goal. This marks their 12th consecutive match without success. However, out of four matches so far in the qualifiers, they have only lost one and drawn three. The loss was 0:1 away against Poland. They have yet to face the group favorite, which is now upcoming.
After two good victories at the start, the Netherlands was expected to record a third in the World Cup qualifiers. However, this did not happen, allowing a 1:1 draw at home against Poland. So now they need to make up for the lost points if they want to maintain first place in the group. In their only visit so far in the group, they managed to defeat Finland 2:0.
Prediction: Netherlands to win with a clean sheet, -1.5 AH for the NetherlandsLithuania will record their 13th consecutive match without a win. I expect the Netherlands not to make a second consecutive mistake after the one against Poland. In my opinion, the "Oranje" will achieve victory here without conceding a goal and will likely score more than once against the unconvincing Lithuanian team.
