Lithuania hosts Italy in round 3 of the World Cup Qualification. The match will be played on Wednesday, March 31st at LFF stadionas (Vilnius)
The Lithuania national team showed a terrible start to 2021. The team played two matches and lost to Kosovo (0-4) and Switzerland (0-1). In total, it was already the third defeat for Lithuania in the last five matches. In another match, Lithuania lost to Belarus (0-2) in the Nations League. Thus, the Lithuanians failed to score in all three cases. The only ones Lithuania managed to beat in the last five matches were the Faroe Islands and Kazakhstan. These national teams lost with the same score of 1-2. The Lithuanians played one match in the qualifying group and lost to the Swiss. However, this result allows Lithuania to take third place. In terms of additional indicators, the Yellow-Greens are ahead of Northern Ireland and Bulgaria.

Italy has won five consecutive matches and has not conceded a single goal. The last time Italy lost points was in the October Nations League matches. Since that moment, Squadra Azzurra has played five games and won all of them. Interestingly, Roberto Mancini's team did not concede a single goal in any of them, and the total score was 12-0. Having shown an excellent game in defense, Italy leads the group thanks to a better goal difference.
If we look at the last five head-to-head matches, Italy has no clear advantage. Lithuania twice managed to take points from the Italians, having played in a draw. And the Blues won in the other three cases. Interestingly, both teams scored in only one out of five matches. In the remaining four meetings, Italy did not concede from Lithuania. Let’s recall that the visitors won the last five matches without conceding a single goal. Lithuania managed to score in only two of the last five meetings, conceding in each of them. Beyond that, the Lithuanians failed to score in four of the last five matches versus Italy, losing three of them. We think that the Italians will manage to win without conceding a single goal.
Prediction for the match: Italy to win with a clean sheet - yes
