Serbia Lithuania match preview

Serbia had played all difficult away matches and it is not surprising that is without victory, although it won one point. Lithuania played twice with Luxembourg and it had to do better than to win just one point. The two teams met twice last year in the Nations League and Serbia won both matches.

Serbia

Serbia played very good in the Nations League and it won the first place in its group. The start of qualification for Euro 2021 was aso good, as drew away with Portugal 1-1. There is also a draw Germany in a friendly and eight-game unbeaten streak. But on Friday they played away with Ukraine and suffered a true debacle since they lost by 5-0. They were completely outplayed in the match, and manager Krstajic surprised with the team he sent on the pitch. Playing with three stoppers obviously didn’t pay off, while forward A. Mitrovic started as a reserve. Now, it is definite that Krstajic will make new changes.

Probable lineups Srbia: Dmitrovic – Rukavina, Spajic, Milenkovic, Kolarov – Maksimovic, Gacinovic, Kostic, Tadic – Jovic, A. Mitrovic

Lithuania

Lithuania too had a bad started of the qualifications, which is in fact only a continuation of bad results made by this national team. They lost all six matches in the Nations League, including two defeats right by Serbia. At the beginning of the qualifications Lithuania lost away in Luxembourg despite being the first to score, while the result read at the end 2-1. Lithuania also failed to win friendly with Azerbaijan, since the match ended as a goalless draw. Last Friday they drew at home with Luxembourg 1-1 again. This time they were trailing behind but they managed to equalise having one player fewer on the pitch. Mikoliunas and Vorobjovas are suspended and cannot play.

Probable lineups Lithuania: Bartkus – Baravykas, Klimavicius, Palionis, Andriuskevicius – Slivka, Simkus – Novikovas, Golubickas, Kazlauskas – Cernych

Verdict:

Serbia is shaken after heavy defeat in Ukraine and they need a sound victory to regain self-confidence. They couldn’t get a better opponent for something like that as Lithuania is very weak lately. That is why we will forecast a sound victory of the home team, despite that the Serbs will play without support of its fans.
