Lithuania hosts Estonia in round 1 of the Baltic Cup. The match will be played on Tuesday, June 1st at LFF stadionas (Vilnius)
Lithuania has totally failed the qualification for the Euro. Yes, there was a difficult group, with Ukraine (which sensationally won in the end), Portugal, Serbia, and Luxembourg. Still, only one draw with the latter is too little. In 2021, the Green-Yellows also suffered defeats in the qualifying matches against Switzerland (0-1) and Italy (0-2). And the friendly match against Kosovo turned into a 0-4 defeat. But in last year's Nations League, Valdas Urbonas's charges looked good: they scored eight points and sent Kazakhstan to 4th place. Now the coaching staff cannot count on experienced Slivka (44 matches for the team), Verbikas, Klimvicius, and Valskis, but they called five debutants.

The Estonians were one step away from Euro 2012. They finished 2nd in their qualifying group and were knocked out only by Ireland in the playoffs. And last fall, Estonia scored only three points in the Nations League (though the company was difficult — Macedonia, Georgia, and Armenia), which is why it will play in the weakest division in the next draw. Actually, such results were also in the Euro qualification (only one point scored). The Estonians gained their last victory back at the beginning of 2019, in a friendly match against Gibraltar. A new cycle began under the leadership of a new mentor, Thomas Haberli. The Swiss started with defeats: 2-6 against the Czech Republic, 2-4 against Belarus in the World Cup qualifiers, and 0-1 in the friendly match. The lineup is being renewed: compared to March, there are no fifteen performers.
The home side won five times in a row. And the Lithuanians won 3-1 away only in the last friendly match. This is not to say that someone is stronger in this pair. But the Lithuanians have a more well-played roster and a coach who has been working with them for a long time. We bet on the home team to win.
Prediction for the match: Lithuania to win
