Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Nations League match.
Ahead of their final meeting against the Kosovo national team, Lithuania have yet to earn a single point. The Baltic side are unlikely to avoid relegation to the lower division, especially since their opponents will be highly motivated following the abandoned match against Romania away (0:0).
Kosovo
The match in Bucharest was dominated by Kosovo, who created far more dangerous opportunities (1.09 vs 0.20 in xG and 7-0 in shots on target). Kosovo are expected to be fully focused on their encounter with Lithuania until UEFA reaches a decision regarding the outcome of the suspended game. Only captain Amir Rrahmani will be unavailable due to yellow card accumulation, but even without the Napoli defender, their attack remains formidable.
Lithuania
Lithuania's promotion to League C did not yield any unexpected improvement in their results. The Baltic team have conceded 10 goals in five games, and a defeat against Cyprus (1:2) left them at the bottom of the table. Against the Cypriots, the team faced 1.20 xGA with 12 shots—a more skilled and motivated opponent in their next fixture will present a formidable challenge.
Kosovo vs Lithuania Prediction
In Kaunas, the October match between Kosovo and Lithuania (2:1) was controlled by the visitors. On their home turf, Kosovo are expected to once again create a significant difference in opportunities.
