Lithuania vs Faroe Islands prediction, preview, team news and more | UEFA Nations League 2022-23

Lithuania host the Faroe Islands at the LFF Stadium in Vilnius on Thursday in the UEFA Nations League, looking to avoid dropping into the relegation play-outs.

Without a single point from four games, the Rinktine are at the bottom of Group 1 in League C and clinging for sruvival. Another defeat in this game will confirm their fourth-place finish, with the Faroe Islands four points above them in third.

Hakan Ericson's side have won just once so far, and that was ironically against Lithuania in June, where they pulled off a 2-1 comeback victory at home.

Lithuania vs Faroe Islands Head-To-Head

Lithuania have won seven of their ten previous clashes with the Faroe Islands, losing just twice.

A big game against Lithuania (yes, not Latvia. 🫣) coming up.

We can ensure our place in League C with a point - but obviously going for all three.

Interestingly, their last defeat came in the reverse fixture when the Rinktine were beaten 2-1 in June.

The Faroe Islands haven't won either of their away games in the competition this season but could find success against Lithuania, who've been poor.

The Rinktine have netted just once and conceded 12 times, and the trend could continue here.
