The Brave Falcons enter the clash with two consecutive home victories against Bulgaria and Lebanon. A victory against Lithuania would not only continue this winning streak but also avenge the 2-2 draw from two months ago. Montenegro’s home record against Lithuania is formidable, and history suggests they have the upper hand.
In contrast, Lithuania arrives in Podgorica with renewed confidence. Ending a 15-game winless run with a 2-0 triumph over Bulgaria and securing a draw with Hungary, Lithuania, led by Edgaras Jankauskas, has shown improvement since Euro 2020 qualifiers. Despite their qualification hopes being extinguished, Lithuania, playing for pride, aims for back-to-back away wins for the first time since September/October 2020.
Pijus Sirvys, Lithuania’s standout performer, showcased his prowess by netting crucial goals in recent fixtures. The tactical setup, likely to be a 3-4-3 formation, emphasizes wing-backs and a dynamic front three featuring Arvydas Novikovas, Fedor Cernych, and Gytis Paulauskas. Lithuania’s resilience and tactical adaptability make them a formidable opponent.
Stefan Mugosa’s absence due to injury is a setback for Montenegro, but the return of Igor Vujacic provides defensive solidity. The forward duo of Nikola Krstovic and Stefan Jovetic will be crucial in unlocking Lithuania’s defence, while the midfield trio of Marko Jankovic, Driton Camaj, and Edvin Kuc aims for consistency.
Lithuania’s squad sees minimal changes, with Artur Dolznikov replacing Paulius Golubickas. The 3-4-3 formation, anchored by Edgaras Utkus, Linas Klimavicius, and Rokas Lekiatas in defence, sets the foundation for their tactical approach. The attacking trio of Novikovas, Cernych, and Paulauskas will look to exploit Montenegro’s defensive vulnerabilities.
In a contest where Montenegro seeks redemption and Lithuania plays for pride, our prediction favours Montenegro with a narrow 2-1 victory. Despite Lithuania’s ability to frustrate in the reverse fixture, Montenegro’s determination and home advantage may tip the scales in their favour.
Prediction: Montenegro 2-1 Lithuania
