Portugal hosts Lithuania in round 9 of Euro qualification. The match will be played on Thursday, November 14th at Estádio Algarve (Faro/Loulé)
The Portuguese team played the last match in the Euro qualification against Ukraine and lost with a 1:2 score. The Portuguese have played the second match with the Ukrainian team. In the first match, the teams tied without scoring a single goal. Only this opponent managed to beat the Portuguese national team. Besides, the Portuguese do not manage to overtake the Ukrainians in the standings of Group B. They are eight points behind Ukraine. It means that they will no longer be able to outrank the Ukrainians. In general, the Portuguese national team is decent in the attack and defense. Still, it lacks the assertiveness in the attack. Portugal managed to win only half of six matches. It gained three victories in a row just before losing to the Ukrainians. Two of them ended with a crushing score. Two outsiders of this group, Lithuania and Luxembourg, became the victims. The leader of this team, Cristiano Ronaldo, managed to score in the last four matches, and he sent four balls to the net of Lithuania. He scored seven goals in total, and it is exactly half of the whole amount of goals scored by the team.

The Lithuanian team has not managed to achieve any success in the European Championship qualification yet. Its only achievement is a draw with Luxembourg in the second round (1:1). However, it was already a return match, and the Lithuanians lost the first game against the Luxembourg team with a 1:2 score. As a result, the team is in the last place, and it earned only one point. It is worth noting that the team does not have good players in the attack, and especially in the defense. After the seventh round, the team has 5 goals scored and 19 conceded. Lithuania played the last match against Serbia and suffered another defeat with a 1:2 score. Surprisingly, the Lithuanians even managed to score in that match. Midfielder Donatas Kazlauskas (Riteriai) scored the goal. Before that, the Lithuanian team lost to the Ukrainians away with a 0:2 score. It was a better result than it gained with this opponent at home. Then the team was hammered (0: 3) and had no chance at all. In the second match, Lithuanian footballers at least somehow moved on the pitch and created several good attempts. Honestly, it’s hard to say whether it’s still worthwhile to keep on trying in this championship because Lithuania cannot count on anything.
