The home side have been in good form, winning three of their last five

Lithuania have kept a clean sheet in three of their last four matches
Lithuania to delight home crowd
Lithuania face Cyprus for just the second time in history, but it wasn’t that long ago since their first match, having faced each other in a friendly last year. Cyprus came out on top that day, but Lithuania put in a credible display away from home, having plenty of the ball and creating double the amount of chances than their home opponents. They looked the better side in parts of the match and can come out on top in front of their home fans.
Lithuania have a slight edge in playing more competitive football this year, having played in the Baltic Cup. They won their semi but came up short in the final, losing to Estonia on Penalties.
Lithuania do appear to be a team who are on an upward curve, having already won three games this year, which is two more than what they won in 2023. Their defence has been a key area of improvement, with them keeping three clean sheets in their last four matches. A good defensive display here can help them pave a way to a 2-0 win.
