Lithuania national team take on the visitors Slovenia in the round 1 match of World Cup 2018 qualifiers. The match will be played in Vilnius at LFF Stadium on Sunday, September 4th.
Lithuanian football lives through the harsh time and the national team can be considered among the weakest teams of the continent along with Liechtenstein, Luxemburg, Andorra and others. Each point in qualifying campaign comes to them with real struggle. The team managed to win only two of their last 15 matches with three draws and 11 defeats. Clearly, the team won’t become competitive in this qualifying circle.

Slovenia show quite average results in recent years but they’ve proven they are capable of battling for top-two place in the group and may be considered as contenders for a place at the main stage. Slovenia failed to advance to Euro 2016, losing playoffs to Ukraine. Today’s visitors played four matches in 2016, beating FYR Macedonia, 1-0, drawing with Sweden, 0-0 and losing to Northern Ireland and Turkey, both 0-1.
The opponents met four times. Lithuania won two matches in ‘90s, both 2-1. The team faced one another in qualifying group for Euro 2016 and Slovenia won the away leg, 2-0 and drew at home, 1-1. Slovenia appear to be favorites of the matchup and it would be obvious to pick them.
Prediction for the match: Slovenia to win.
