Ukraine will host Lithuania at Olimpiyskiy National Sports Complex in Kiev for this Friday’s EURO 2020 qualification game. This game will be a meeting between the leaders of Group B, Ukraine, and the group’s last-placed team, Lithuania. We don’t anticipate that this will be an easy night for Lithuania. Ukraine have been in excellent form throughout their EURO 2020 qualification campaign. They have conceded just one goal from their five EURO 2020 qualification games thus far. This gives them the overall best defensive record in the EURO 2020 qualifiers, for any team from any group.

Only Group I leaders Belgium have had as good of a defensive record as Ukraine in the EURO 2020 qualifiers. We feel that Lithuania will struggle to keep the score line down in Kiev this Friday. They have lost 4 of their 5 EURO 2020 qualification games. They have conceded a total of 15 goals from their 5 EURO 2020 qualifiers. This gives them an average of 3 goals conceded per game during this EURO 2020 qualification campaign. They will be against a Ukraine side who have been in inspired form lately, winning their last 4 EURO 2020 qualifiers. Head coach and all-time top scorer, Andriy Shevchenko, has his side looking particularly impressive at the back at present. Ukraine have kept a clean sheet in their last 3 EURO 2020 qualifiers. Ukraine have been very tough for teams to break down at home in recent games also. They have kept a clean sheet in their last 4 competitive home games. This doesn’t bode well for a Lithuania side who have been struggling away from home, and leaking goals at the back of late. Lithuania have lost 3 of their last 4 competitive away games by 3 or more goals. Lithuania were also defeated 3-0 at home by Ukraine just a month ago.
