Ukraine vs Lithuania Prediction & Betting tips
In group B of the European Championship qualification, league-leader Ukraine will take on Friday-evening in-house against league-leader Lithuania. The spectators at the Metalist Stadium in Kharkiv expect nothing less than a resounding home victory.
Ukraine:
Ukraine can almost touch her starting ticket for next year’s European Championship. The Eastern Europeans are in a tough group with, among others, Portugal and Serbia with thirteen points from five European Championship qualifiers, almost flawless, and with only three group matches ahead they have a lead of five and six points on the aforementioned countries. With a victory over weak brother Lithuania, Ukrainian football fans can start booking their tickets for the European Championship.
With only one hit, Ukraine and Belgium have the best rear of all participating countries in this European Championship qualification series. Even in an attacking sense, it is a must for the Ukrainians, because with eleven goals in five duels, they score on average more than two goals per game. Veterans such as Yevhen Konoplyanka and Andriy Yarmolenko are still in the service, but with Roman Yaremchuk and Viktor Tsyhankov, national coach Andrei Shevchenko also has an eye for up-and-coming talent.
Lithuania:
We can be brief about the qualities of Lithuania. The Baltic state only made this European Championship qualification series a meager point, and can therefore write participation in next year’s European Championship on its stomach. The team of national coach Valdas Urbonas must therefore lick her wounds and turn her gaze to the future.
Lithuania might be better off building a new team, but Urbonas is still largely sticking to the names he knows. The chance that you know them is small, however, unless clubs like Suduva and Zalgiris have no secrets for you. To make matters worse, star player Fedor Cernych is in the rag basket. The striker of the Russian Premier League club Orenburg is the only Lithuanian who plays on level, and will therefore be missed.
