Lithuania vs Italy Predictions

• Italy have won their last five internationals without conceding a goal.
• The Azzurri are unbeaten in their last 24 starts, winning 19.
• Lithuania have lost both of their opening Group C ties without scoring (4-0 vs Kosovo, 1-0 vs Switzerland).

Mancini’s Italy to coast in Vilnius

Italy have made a seamless start to their Group C campaign via a pair of 2-0 victories and the Azzurri should extend their 100% record in similar fashion against Lithuania this week.

Roberto Mancini’s side have eased their way past Northern Ireland and Bulgaria thus far, and while those results and performances have been far from emphatic, the Azzurri have demonstrated their typical class and professionalism.

The Italians have now won their last five internationals without conceding a goal and won’t have to be anywhere near their best in Vilnius this Wednesday to prolong that sequence.

Often savvy enough to avoid complete hammerings, Lithuania are perhaps one rung up the European ladder from whipping boys such as San Marino and Liechtenstein, though they offer very little in terms of attacking threat as shown in their first two Group C outings against Kosovo (4-0) and Switzerland (1-0).

Much like Italy’s first two Group C starts, this looks just the type of game that Mancini’s efficient and consistent outfit are going to coast though and they’re unlikely to suffer any blemishes at the back.

A win to nil for Italy appeals as the only logical main wager for this fixture, and we’re also tipping the Italians to seal their third 2-0 triumph on the bounce.
