Cyprus enters this game in a challenging position, having faced 11 losses in their last 15 UEFA Nations League matches. While Lithuania has not been in perfect form either, they have shown stronger performance recently, securing eight wins in their last 11 matches at this level.
Cyprus’s home games in the UEFA Nations League are typically low-scoring, with 15 of their last 20 matches featuring under 2.5 goals. Lithuania’s away games have followed a similar trend, with six of their last nine matches also seeing fewer goals.
Defensive play has been common for Cyprus, as 14 of their last 18 top-flight games have ended with at least one clean sheet. Lithuania’s recent record is similar, with clean sheets occurring in 16 of their last 19 away games, indicating a likelihood of limited scoring from either side in this match.
Prediction
Given the consistent pattern of low-scoring games from both teams, the match is likely to remain subdued. Expecting minimal action in front of the goal, a narrow 1-0 victory for Lithuania seems probable.
