Lithuania vs Serbia Prediction & Betting tips
The European Championship participation of Serbia depends on a thread. The Serbs need three wins in the remaining games and even then it depends on other countries. The first scalp should be Lithuania on Monday evening.
Lithuania:
Lithuania is nothing less than a European football dwarf. To illustrate: in the current group, the Baltic country is still standing under Luxembourg. In the past two years, only two wins have been achieved: in a friendly meeting with Armenia and Sri Lanka. In official competitions the team of coach Urbonas performs dramatically: in the Nations League all six matches were lost in a group with Romania, Montenegro and Serbia, and in the qualification for the 2018 World Cup only six points were taken in ten games, of which four against Malta.
The poor performance is not surprising at all for those who look at the selection of Lithuanians. The only player who evokes some recognition is Vytautas Andriuskevicius, who was under contract with Cambuur Leeuwarden years ago. The most renowned player is Arvydas Novikovas, but he is not even sure of a base place with his employer Legia Warsaw. The captain, Fedor Cernych of the Russian FK Orenburg, is injured.
Serbia:
Serbia has only a very small chance to attend the European Championship next summer. Opposition appears to be too strong with Ukraine and Portugal. As Serbia, Ukraine and Portugal are expected to score twelve points against Luxembourg and Lithuania, the three countries decide among themselves which two countries go to the European Championship.
And Serbia has already left too much in this triple battle. 1 point was taken against Portugal (2-4 defeat at home, 1-1 draw out), while a visit to Ukraine was lost by no less than 5-0. So the Serbs have to score more points than these teams, because they lose out on mutual results. Ukraine is already at sixteen points (the maximum number that Serbia can achieve), so it is no longer possible to find out. Portugal has four more points and six points against Luxembourg and Lithuania enough for a European Championship ticket.
A large number of big names are not included against Lithuania. Dusan Tadic (Ajax), Nemanja Matic (Manchester United), Sergej Milinkovic-Savic (Lazio), Nikola Maksimovic (Napoli), Luka Jovic (Real Madrid) and Ljubomir Fejsa (Benfica) are not included for various reasons.
