Serbia to Win with Handicap (-2)
These two teams have met four times in the last five years and Lithuania came out as the losing team from all five matches. Furthermore, two of those four games Serbia won by a three-goal difference.
In addition to all this, Serbia has been a completely different team under Piksi Stojkovic and even though they disappointed a bit at World Cup in Qatar, they also had a very tough group. All in all, our first Serbia vs Lithuania prediction is for Serbia to win by three or more goals.
Aleksandar Mitrovic to Score First
Since we expect a convincing win for Serbia, there is little doubt that their all-time top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic will find a way to contribute by scoring in this game too.
Not only that, but Mitrovic scored five goals in four games he played against Lithuania and further more, he scored the first two goals in the last two duels with this team. So, our second Serbia vs Lithuania prediction is for Mitrovic to score the first goal of the game.

Serbia – Lithuania Preview: Current Form, Recent News, and Probable Lineups
You can find out all the important information on both teams ahead of this game, including the potential Serbia vs Lithuania lineups.
Serbia
After making four of the last five World Cups and missing the last five Euro Championships in a row, Serbia is hoping to finally end this trend and this poor Euro streak by getting to Euro 2024. Given their performances under Stojkovic and relatively easy group in Qualifiers, we have no doubt that this time, Serbia will get to the main stage.
When it comes to team news, Stojkovic is mostly sticking to the team that got to Qatar. Some of the players who will be missing through injuries are Luka Jovic, Milos Veljkovic, and Nikola Stulic.
Serbia Predicted Lineup:
Milinkovic-Savic – Milenkovic, Veljkovic, Pavlovic – Zivkovic, Lukic, Milinkovic-Savic, Kostic, Tadic – Mitrovic, Vlahovic
Lithuania
Ever since they separated from the Soviet Union, Lithuania has struggled as a footballing nation and they are yet to make it to some major international competition. The team also did poorly in the latest UEFA Nations League edition as they finished last in their group in Division C, so they will be playing relegation play-offs to see whether they stay at this level or drop to Division D, among the worst teams in Europe.
Meanwhile, Fedor Cernych is back with the team after missing the Baltic Cup.
Lithuania Predicted Lineup:
Gertmonas – Mikoliunas, Satkus, Slivka, Girdvainis, Barauskas – Novikovas, Vorobjovas, Simkus, Golubickas – Cernych
Starting Lineups
Teams commonly release their lineups one hour ahead of the start of the game.
Player to Watch: Aleksandar Mitrovic
Given that we already chose Mitrovic to score first as one of our betting tips, it is only logical to stick with the same man as our player to watch in this duel.
After all, Aleksandar Mitrovic has been the team's talisman in the last nearly a decade and he is Serbia's all-time leading scorer. He did struggle with injuries a bit lately, but his season with Fulham has been amazing and Lithuania surely has to fear Mitro ahead of this game.
