Lithuania Bulgaria betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is a Bulgarian victory. Despite playing away from home, we think the visiting team has more competence to dominate the different phases of the game, taking the opportunity to shape the game in their favour. On the other hand, Lithuania is not going through a good phase in the competition, so we can expect the difficulties to continue in this match. That said, and taking these factors into account, betting in favour of Bulgaria's victory is a good option.

Preview
Lithuania and Bulgaria meet at Vilniaus LFF stadionas, in a match for this stage of the WC Qualification Europe (Group Stage). In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Lithuania

The home team is currently in the 5th position, no points won yet, after 5 losses. In the penultimate round, they have lost an away match against Bulgaria by (1‑0). In the last round, they have lost an away match against Italy by (5‑0). This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 1 draw and 11 losses in away matches; against 2 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses at their stadium. In the last 9 home matches Lithuania has won 2, tied 2 and lost 5.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 5 losses in the last matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in all of the last 5 matches, and their offense needs to do better, since they haven’t scored goals in 4 of the last 5 matches for this competition. They haven't been able to score the first goal. In fact, they have only opened up the score in 3 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in advantage in all of those 3 matches and have held on to the lead in 2. They have conceded the first goal in 11 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Lithuania come into this match on the back of a 5x0 defeat away to Italy, their fifth consecutive loss in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. For this match, coach Tomas Razanauskas will play with a 4-3-3 tactical formation, focusing on defensive organisation and counter-attacks on the flanks: Arvyda Novikova is very quick and strong to carry the ball forward. All players are available for this match.

Confirmed Lineup: Ernestas Šetkus, Rolandas Baravykas, Egidijus Vaitkūnas, Benas Šatkus, Linas Klimavičius, Arvydas Novikovas, Linas Megelaitis, Justas Lasickas, Fedor Černych, Vykintas Slivka, Karolis Laukžemis.

Analysis Bulgaria

The away team is currently in the 4th position, with 5 points won, after 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses. In the penultimate round, they have tied an away match against Italy by (1‑1). In the last round, they have won a home match against Lithuania by (1‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 6 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses at their stadium, with 16 goals scored and 25 conceded. In their last match, for the Friendlies, they got a home win against Georgia by (4‑1). In the last 9 away matches Bulgaria has tied 5 and lost 4. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 5 of the last 9 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 8 out of 9 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Bulgaria come into this match motivated after a 4-1 home win over Georgia in a friendly match in preparation for their upcoming official matches: goals were scored by Andrea Hristov, Todor Nedelev, Spas Delev and Dimitar Iliev. In the last matchday of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, the Bulgarians beat Lithuania 1-0. For this away match, coach Yasen Petrov will have to play with a 4-4-2 tactical formation, favouring possession and organised attacks, mainly on the flanks: Ilian Iliev and Borislav Tsonev are the fastest and most dangerous players in the attack. Nikolay Mihaylov and Atanas Iliev are unavailable for this match, as both have been suspended.

Confirmed Lineup: Martin Lukov, Andrea Hristov, Petko Hristov, Valentin Antov, Vasil Bozhikov, Kristiyan Malinov, Dimitar Iliev, Petar Vitanov, Todor Nedelev, Georgi Yomov, Kiril Despodov.
Coach: M. Kasabov.
