On Monday, September 7, Lithuania will play the Netherlands in a 2026 World Cup qualifying match. The game will take place in Lithuania and is scheduled to begin at 18:00 CET. Here’s what to expect.
Lithuania started their qualifying campaign with a 0-2 defeat against Poland. They have played four matches so far, and the outcomes haven’t been great. They drew 2-2 with Finland, played to a 0-0 draw with Malta, and another match against Malta ended 1-1. After four games, Lithuania has just three points and is currently above only Malta in the standings, four points adrift of the group leaders. Facing stronger opponents now, it will be challenging for them to achieve a good result.
The Netherlands have participated in three qualifiers to date. They began with a solid 2-0 victory over Finland and followed it up with an impressive 8-0 win against Malta. However, in their third match, they drew 1-1 with Poland after conceding an equalizer. Overall, they have seven points and have played one game less than their group rivals. They remain the top favorites both for the group and this match.
The Netherlands are clearly the favorites in this match, and it’s anticipated they will win comfortably. After dropping points in their last game, they will be motivated to perform well. My prediction: Netherlands to score over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.6.
