Lithuania vs Netherlands

The Netherlands are aiming to maintain their unbeaten record when they travel to Lithuania for a Group G fixture in the UEFA World Cup qualifiers.

The Dutch have been the team to beat in the group and will be feeling confident heading into Sunday's match. They should ease to a comfortable victory over the hosts, who have struggled so far.

Lithuania News

Lithuania head into this clash off the back of a 1-1 home draw with Malta in their previous fixture. Following a goalless first half, they fell behind just after the break and needed an injury-time equaliser from Gvidas Gineitis to salvage a point.

That result means Lithuania are still seeking their first win in the qualifiers while they have also lost seven of their last 10 matches across all competitions. Edgaras Jankauskas’ team have had little home comfort lately and are winless in nine of their last 10 matches in front of their fans.

Lithuania generally struggle against the big sides and recently suffered a 5-0 defeat to Denmark in a friendly. Their vulnerable defence means four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

Netherlands News

The Netherlands are also coming off a draw, having been held 1-1 at home by Poland last time out. They failed to add to Denzel Dumfries’ first-half effort and were punished with an equaliser 10 minutes from time.

While it was a disappointing result, the Netherlands remain unbeaten in Group G and are currently sitting top of the table. Ronald Koeman's team have a decent record on their travels and are unbeaten in eight of their last 10 away matches across all competitions.

The Netherlands have no problems going forward and claimed an 8-0 victory over Malta prior to the draw with Poland. They scored in both halves in that clash, while three of their last five matches across all competitions have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

This will be the first-ever meeting between Lithuania and the Netherlands.

Verdict

Lithuania v Netherlands

The Netherlands are looking to bounce back from the draw last time out and will be keen to show their superior quality over Lithuania, who are struggling at the moment. The visitors can channel the performance in the win over Malta and are likely to score in both halves, while a -2 handicap could also be considered.

Three of Lithuania’s last four matches have produced over 2.5 goals, and Sunday's clash is expected to serve up a similar outcome.
