Backing the hosts to grab a first win
It might be a bold call but we're kicking off our Lithuania vs Faroe Islands prediction by backing a home win, which is something they've not achieved for over 11 months! Since then, they've lost five straight matches including a head to head with the Faroe Islands. Notably though, that game was away from home and the last four times Faroe Islands have travelled to Lithuania they've lost. With the Faroe Islands also not having won away from home in 12 matches, we think there is every chance that Lithuania kick start their Nations League campaign with three points.
Anticipating goals
Whilst these two sides aren't known for serving up winning football, their games to tend to contain goals and we are offering up a second tip that this match goes north of the 2.5 total goals mark. Lithuania have seen two of their last three matches go over that threshold whilst Faroe Islands have gone north of the 2.5 goal mark in three of their last four matches. On top of that recent form, we can also look at the head to head record; four of the last five meetings – and each of the last three – have seen at least three goals. With all that considered, there is no reason to expect a low scoring match here!

A clash between the bottom two in group C
There might be a couple of games remaining in this group but already it feels like this match is more about who finishes in the relegation spot as opposed to who can find a way forward in the group. If Lithuania are to avoid that dreaded bottom spot then they simply have to win here as they trail Faroe Islands by four points.
Lithuania will be low on confidence having lost every game they've played in this edition of the Nations League but a home match against the Faroe Islands is as winnable as games come.
Lithuania Key Player – Centre back Edgaras Utkus will be crucial.
Faroe Islands have won just one game in Group C so far and it came against their opponents, Lithuania. They will be in a good mood heading into this match with belief they can get another result.
Faroe Islands Key Player – Joannes Bjartlid; he has scored two goals in the Nations League so far.
