In one of the qualification matches for the 2024 World Cup, the players of the national teams of Serbia and Lithuania will clash face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this duel? Our sports portal evaluates the opponents' chances of success.
SerbiaThe Serbian national team was able to win a difficult quartet in the League of Nations.
This fact allowed the "tricolor" to rise to the A-League. At the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, the Balkans also showed excellent football, but a failed defensive game did not allow them to reach the playoffs. In three rounds, the Serbs conceded eight goals, and in the decisive games with Cameroon (3:3) and Switzerland (2:3), they missed the advantage every time. In 2023, the team held one friendly meeting. The match against the USA was won with a score of 2:1.
LithuaniaThe Lithuanian national team has not impressed at all with its game lately.
Every year the team performs worse. In the last tournament of the League of Nations, the Lithuanians competed in League C. Despite the fact that the team got into a simple group, it could not compete against the Faroe Islands and Luxembourg, and now the new tournament will start in League B. At the Baltic Cup, the Lithuanians also became the worst, losing in the match for third place to Estonia (0:2). Statistics and figures:
Serbia is a clear favorite of the meeting;
- The Serbs have won twice in 5 matches;
- Lithuania has not won in 9 consecutive matches;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the opponents ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of Serbia.
- Forecast
I believe that Serbia will be able to defeat its opponent in the first half.
Moreover, it will ensure the passage of a minimum handicap. In addition, I believe that the Serbs will serve a considerable number of corners, as is usually the case in games involving the Lithuanian national team.
