Lithuania will host Iceland at the Darius and Girenas Stadium in the Baltic Cup semifinals on Wednesday (November 16).
The hosts endured a poor FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign, losing seven of their eight games and finishing rock-bottom in their group with just three points. They did not fare much better in the Nations League earlier this year, failing to win any of their six games and will now hope for better luck in the Baltic Cup.
Lithuania are ten-time winners of the Baltic Cup, last lifting the competition in 2010 and will hope to reclaim the trophy this year.
Iceland, meanwhile, also missed on the World Cup after winning just two of their ten qualifying games and finishing nine points behind North Macedonia in the playoffs spot. They had mixed results in their UEFA Nations League campaign, drawing all four games and finishing second in their group.
The visitors are set to make their first appearance in the cup competition this week and will look to come away with a win.
