Lithuania vs Romania Prediction: 15/10/2024

While Lithuania’s recent results have shown some improvement, their overall performance at home in top-flight matches has been challenging, with only two wins in their last 11 games, and five losses. This struggle helps explain why they find themselves in a tough battle. On the other hand, Romania, who are in pursuit of the title, have secured four victories in their last five away matches at this level.

Low-scoring matches tend to follow when Romania play in the UEFA Nations League, with fewer than 2.5 goals being scored in 17 of their last 19 away games, including their last nine in a row. Similarly, 14 of Lithuania’s last 19 home games have ended with two goals or fewer, which includes a win and a draw against Romania.

In each of Lithuania’s last five UEFA Nations League games, at least one goalkeeper has kept a clean sheet, and this trend is expected to continue against Romania. This is also consistent with Romania’s last three away games, where at least one team has failed to score, indicating that both teams may be defensively focused in this matchup.

 

Prediction

Lithuania has consistently been involved in low-scoring UEFA Nations League games, with 15 of their last 17 matches featuring under 2.5 goals. The same can be said for Romania, with 17 of their last 20 away matches following this scoring pattern. As a result, another low-scoring affair is anticipated.

Prediction: Lithuania 0-1 Romania.
