On Sunday, Lithuania and the Netherlands will face off in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers at the Darius and Girenas Stadium. Rinktine are in fourth place in UEFA Group G, while Oranje lead the group standings. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

Lithuania’s wait to feature in their first-ever World Cup looks likely to extend this year unless they can turn things around in a big way. They have three points after four games and trail the top two teams by four points. 

The Tricolours pulled off a dramatic 1-1 draw against Malta on Thursday, with Gvidas Gineitis netting in the 96th minute of the match from the penalty spot to earn his side a share of the spoils. 

Both the hosts’ home games in this competition ended in score draws. They have only failed to score in one of their last 10 home matches across all competitions. 

Meanwhile, the Netherlands have taken seven points from their three matches in this competition (W2 D1) and have also played one game less than the teams below them in Group D. 

The Flying Dutchmen’s first dropped points in qualifying came in midweek when they were held to a 1-1 draw by second-placed Poland. Memphis Depay picked up an assist in that match and now has three goals and three assists in three matches in this competition. 

While the visitors’ recent away record has not been the greatest, those matches were against much higher-ranked opposition than their upcoming opponents.
