Lithuania vs Kosovo Prediction and Betting Tips | October 12th 2024

Lithuania and Kosovo return to action in the UEFA Nations League when they go head-to-head at the Darius and Girėnas Stadium on Saturday. Both sides picked up contrasting results in their most recent outing back in September, with Kosovo thrashing Cyprus in Larnaca.

Lithuania were left empty-handed for a second consecutive game in the Nations League as they fell to a 3-1 defeat against Romania at the Steaua Stadium on September 9.

This followed a 1-0 loss against Cyprus on September 6, when Ioannis Pittas netted the only goal of the game to hand the White and Blues an opening-day victory.

Lithuania head into the weekend on a run of three consecutive defeats across all competitions, including a penalty-shootout loss against Estonia in the 2024 Baltic Cup final on June 11.

Kosovo, on the other hand, picked up their first win of the new Nations League campaign last time out when they thrashed Cyprus 4-0 at the AEK Arena.

Before that, Franco Foda’s men were on a run of three back-to-back defeats, including a 3-0 loss against Romania in the Group C2 curtain-raiser on September 6.

Kosovo will now look to secure successive competitive victories for the first time since November 2023 and move level on points with first-placed Romania.
