Greece vs Lithuania Prediction and Betting Tips | 27th March 2023

Greece host Lithuania at the Agia Sofia in Nea Filadelfeia on Monday for an international friendly, looking to make it back-to-back wins for the month.

The Pirate Ship began their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign earlier this week with a comfortable 3-0 defeat of Gibraltar as Giorgos Masouras, Emmanouil Siopis and Anastasios Bakasetas were among the goals for them.

The Euro 2004 champions are looking to make a return to the European stage for the first time since 2012 but have a tough path ahead, with heavyweights France and the Netherlands also in their group.

As this is only a friendly, head coach Gus Poyet may opt to make wholesale changes to his XI with AZ Alkmaar star Vangelis Pavlidis getting recalled into the XI after only coming off the bench last time.

Experienced midfielders Kostas Fortounis and Dimitris Pelkas could also get a nod. Olympiacos goalkeeper Alexandros Paschalakis is gunning for just his sixth cap with the Greek national team.

Lithuania were beaten 2-0 by Serbia in their opening Euro qualifiers as Dusan Tadic and Dusan Vlahovic combined to down the Rinktine.

Ranked a lowly 144th in the world, the Baltic side will play their first friendly in a year. They beat San Marino 2-1 in March 2022 but lost to Ireland 1-0 just days later.
