Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
-----------------------------
The Netherlands aim to preserve their unbeaten run in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers as they travel to face struggling Lithuania in Kaunas. Lithuania recently secured a home draw against Malta, while the Netherlands were held to a draw by Poland in their last match in Rotterdam.
Team Analysis:
Lithuania, currently ranked 143rd by FIFA and enduring a 12-match winless streak, continue to struggle in their World Cup 2026 qualifying campaign, sitting fourth in their group and drawing recent home games against Finland and Malta. Despite having Torino’s Gvidas Gineitis as a rare standout, their prospects remain bleak.
In contrast, group leaders the Netherlands remain unbeaten, boasting a strong attacking record and led by Memphis Depay, despite a recent draw with Poland. As the two sides prepare for their first-ever meeting in Kaunas, the Dutch are clear favourites to secure victory and move closer to World Cup qualification.
Player Situation:
Lithuania will be without suspended defender Edgaras Utkus against the Netherlands, prompting a likely reshuffle in defense alongside Edvinas Girdvainis. Meanwhile, the Netherlands may tweak their attack after missed chances against Poland, with Wout Weghorst possibly replacing Memphis Depay. Debuts could be on the cards for Sem Steijn and Robin Roefs, while the Dutch lineup is expected to feature several Premier League regulars, including Virgil van Dijk and Ryan Gravenberch.
Result Prediction:
Lithuania, still without a win in their four qualifying matches, are expected to struggle against group favourites the Netherlands, who will likely respond strongly after a frustrating draw with Poland.
Predicted Result: Lithuania 0-3 Netherlands.
