Lithuania vs Bulgaria Predictions

• Lithuania are one of the worst teams in qualifying and have lost all five of their matches in Group C.
• The hosts have scored just once in five qualifying games.
• Bulgaria are much more defensively astute, securing a 1-1 draw with Italy and keeping a clean sheet in the reverse fixture against Lithuania.

Poor run to continue for Lithuania against Bulgaria

The visitors are in excellent form coming into this one and have shown signs of improvement. In their last outing, they claimed a resounding 4-1 win over Georgia which saw four different players scoring for the Bulgarians.

They had a slow start but a 1-1 draw with Italy seems to have kicked them into gear and acted as a springboard as Yasen Petrov’s men have gone on to win their last two matches.

Lithuania carried on with their struggles in Group C as they were demolished 5-0 at the hands of Italy in their previous match. They simply were not up to the task and were utterly toothless in attack, registering just one shot on target throughout the match.

Defensive improvement catalyst for Bulgaria form

Valdas Ivanauskas’ team have been one of the worst sides in the qualifying campaign, losing all five of their matches and conceding 13 goals.

The Bulgarians seem to have set up more defensively in their most recent outings and that looks to be the catalyst behind their improved performances.

They kept a clean sheet in their last match with the Lithuanians and given the difference in quality, we expect the visitors to limit chances on their own goal and get the win with a clean sheet.
