Lithuania vs England Prediction & Betting tips
England finally finished last Thursday for the World Cup next Thursday, while Lithuania has long been eliminated. The final round of play in this World Championship Qualifying Series in Vilnius is thus nothing more than a seasoned practice. However, that does not mean that this meeting for our punters is not interesting!
Lithuania :
Traditionally, Lithuania was always regarded as the best football country of the three Baltic states. However, that has not been the case for a long time since, since the Soviet Union divorced in 1990, Latvia was the first to qualify for a major tournament in 2004. Also, Estonia (89th place on the FIFA World Ranking) is Lithuania (120th place on the FIFA World Ranking). With only seven points out of nine games, World Cup qualifier was again a utopia this time. Last Thursday evening, the Eastern Europeans did not go beyond a disappointing 1-1 draw on football Malta. Midfielder Vykintas Slivka made it his equalizer that the yellow shirts were not completely crazy.
The most famous name in Lithuania is that of coach Edgaras Jankauskas, who in his active career with sharp shot at amongst others Club Brugge and FC Porto. The current selection had been able to use its goal-orientation, because in the last six interlands, the country did not go beyond two shabby goals. Supplier Fiodro Cernych (Jagiellonia Bialystok) is with eight goals in 36 internationally the only player with scoring ability. Three of those goals he made in this World Cup qualifier series. If Lithuania want something Cernych should have a good day, even Sunday evening will be a big deal to turn off the seventh defeat in the last eight internationals.
England :
Thanks to a 1-0 victory in Slovenia, it’s definitely her World Cup ticket. However, the game at Wembley was not in a hurry to leave the field. Many people were on their way home when Harry Kane managed to move the scoreboard deep in injury time. The English game, though, did not win the beauty award, but The Three Lions can look back on a successful mission. The field game was not really a spell of this World Cup qualifier, but with only three opponents in nine rounds of play, it was unusual.
As the outbreak does not really matter, there is a chance that coach coach Gareth Southgate will throw his base on the pitch. On the one hand, to experiment and keep everyone motivated, on the other hand to keep the clubs happy. The playlist of the English top clubs obviously pours out, so they do not want their stars to be exhausted or perhaps even injured from an interland period. Boulevard newspaper Daily Star expects a completely different team with eleven new names on Sunday evening in Vilnius. Somebody who plays in any case is Part Alli. The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder had a suspension against Slovenia. The wonder boy regularly put the Premier League on fire and flame, but has not yet been able to push his stamp in England’s shirt with only two goals in 21 international.
Furthermore, Southgate is expected to experiment with a triumph behind. That play is about the new trend – both Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and occasionally the two Manchester clubs use this system. Then you can not be left behind as a coach. England played earlier this year with three men in the friendly friendly matches against Germany and France, both of which turned out to be small defeat.
