Lithuania hosts Kazakhstan in round 1 of the UEFA Nations League C. The match will be played on Friday, September 4th at LFF stadionas (Vilnius)
The Lithuanians have not shown much progress lately. They completely failed the qualification for Euro 2020, but in fairness, their group was very strong. Urbonas's men try to focus on defensive actions and balanced game, but they either lack physical conditions or don’t have enough class and technical skills. There are no good results, as well as some kind of personalities and promising talents. I expect Lithuania to play defense first for most of the match with Kazakhstan.

Michal Bilek came to the post of Kazakhstan's coach at the beginning of the qualification for Euro 2020 and started with a hammering victory over the Scotland reserve at home (3-0), but he still failed to create a sensation with the national team. The Kazakhs are much more attack-oriented than the Lithuanians, but they are less disciplined and have problems in positional attack. Besides, the defense fails rather often - a strong passion for attack interferes. Nevertheless, the Kazakhs should fight on an equal footing in the away match with Lithuania.
Former republics of the USSR played against each other only once. In 2014, a friendly match in Lithuania ended in a 1-1 draw. Now the Lithuanians have a little advantage. They have more practice because the local championship has been going on for a long time. In Kazakhstan, it was interrupted due to the pandemic, and not everyone had time to get in shape, although the visitors look stronger in terms of the selection of players and experience. Nevertheless, I am expecting a lot of struggle in the center of the field and a tough game that contributes to the low scoring in the upcoming match.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
