Lithuania U21 and Spain U21 will battle for three points in a 2023 UEFA Euro Under-21 Championship qualifier on Tuesday.
The hosts come into the game on the back of a 3-1 defeat away to Slovakia U21 in a qualifier on Friday. Adrian Kapralik scored a brace to help the Slovaks pick up all three points.
Spain U21 were emphatic in their 4-1 thrashing of Russia U21 on home turf last weekend. Fer Nino and Yeremi Pino both scored braces in the rout.
That victory helped La Rojita climb to the summit of the standings in Group C. The Lithuania U21 side are currently in fourth spot.
