Netherlands vs Lithuania

The Netherlands are on the brink of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup as they host Lithuania in their Group G clash of the UEFA qualifiers.

The Dutch have a straightforward task on Monday and have done some of their best work at home lately. They should have too much quality for the visitors, who have endured a difficult campaign.

Netherlands News

The Netherlands are coming off a 1-1 away draw with Poland in their previous fixture. They fell behind just before the break and struck back in the second half through Memphis Depay, but could not go on to find the winner.

That result maintains the Netherlands’ unbeaten record in the group, having picked up five wins and two draws from seven matches. Ronald Koeman's team are three points clear at the top of the table and need only to avoid defeat to qualify for the World Cup.

The Netherlands are back home on Monday, where they have won by three or more goals in three of their last five matches, with an 8-0 victory over Malta among their results. They have also scored over 1.5 first-half goals in all three fixtures.

Lithuania News

Lithuania travel to Amsterdam off the back of a 0-0 home draw with Israel in a friendly in midweek. They created a few chances but lacked the cutting edge in attack.

That result is an extension of Lithuania’s struggles in the qualifiers, having failed to earn a single win in seven matches. Edgaras Jankauskas’ team have lost their last three matches in the group, including a 2-0 home defeat to Poland in their previous fixture.

One of the problems for Lithuania is that they often struggle on their travels and are winless in their last seven away matches. They have lost six times on this run, with a 5-0 defeat in Denmark among their results.

Head to Head

The only previous fixture between both teams came in the reverse fixture as the Netherlands picked up a 3-2 away victory.

Verdict

Netherlands v Lithuania

Given Lithuania’s struggles in the qualifiers and their poor away record, Monday's clash is likely to be a one-sided contest. The Netherlands have won by three or more goals in three of their last four home matches and could be set for a repeat here.

The Netherlands will be keen to set the tone for a dominant display by laying down an early marker. Having scored over 1.5 first-half goals in three of their last five home matches, a repeat could be considered.
