Lithuania Preview – Can Lithuania open their account?
Lithuania already find themselves bottom of Group C having suffered back-to-back defeats against both Switzerland and Italy and although they are due to face ‘lesser mortals’ Northern Ireland on Thursday night, this upcoming clash looks to be no easier for the hosts.
The bigger picture shows that Lithuania have lost eight of their last nine World Cup qualifiers, seven of which have been to nil, so the hosts look to have their work cut out here as well.
Lithuania have won just one of their last seven qualifiers at home which was against Malta but have also suffered five defeats too.
N. Ireland Preview – Can Irish pick up vital win?
Northern Ireland have managed to pick up just one point from their opening two games in Group C thanks to a 0-0 draw with Bulgaria last time out which followed an opening 2-0 loss to Italy away from home.
Realistically, the Irish will have their work cut out to challenge Switzerland for the runners-up spot behind Italy but all three points in Lithuania on Thursday night would at least keep Northern Ireland in the frame and could help maintain the pressure on the Swiss.
Northern Ireland have lost four of their last six qualifiers but they stand a decent chance of a result here.
