Faroe Islands vs Lithuania Predictions

• Lithuania ran out 2-1 winners when these sides met in 2020
• Faroe Islands picked up two red cards in their 1-0 defeat against Luxembourg
• Faroe Islands last four home matches have all gone under 2.5 match goals

Ill-discipline may cost hosts

Faroe Islands picked up two red cards in Tuesday’s 1-0 defeat at home to Luxembourg. The hosts will be without regular starters Rene Joensen and Solvi Vatnhamar, who both received straight red cards on Tuesday, when they welcome Lithuanian Torshvan on Saturday. Faroe Islands have lost their opening two Nations League matches to an aggregate score of 5-0 and the absence of two key players certainly doesn’t help matters.

Lithuania fancied to record first win

Lithuania have also lost their opening two Nations League matches, but they might have enough to get the better of their weakened hosts on Saturday. Lithuania can lean on the success they had against Faroe Islands 18-months ago when they ran out 2-1 winners in Vilnius. These sides are separated by just 14 places in the FIFA World Rankings and with neither side having deep resources, the two suspended players may well be crucial in what is expected to be a low scoring game – Faroe Islands last four home matches have all gone under 2.5 goals.

Lithuania to Win and Under 2.5 Match Goals will be the main selection for this Nations League clash in Torshavn. This may well be settled by a single goal and in the correct score market I will predict this finishing 1-0 to the visitors.
