Russia qualified for the final stage in France despite some troubles along the way.

Lithuania are one of the weakest teams on the continent and they always failing to be competitive in the qualifiers for Euros or World Cups. This cycle wasn’t exception as Lithuania finished with tem points and 7-18 goal difference on 5th place in the standings above only San Marino, the worst European team. Lithuania national team are horrible on the road as they won one, drew two and lost 7 out of last ten matches on the road with 4-19 goal difference.
Russia and Lithuania met three times, Russia won twice (4-3 and 4-1) and one match ended with 0-0. Today’s hosts are unquestionable favorites and they should please their fans with confident victory.
Prediction for the match: Russia to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
