Lithuania vs Malta Prediction

Rinktinė have drawn their last two games in the World Cup qualifiers and will look to return to winning ways in this home game. Notably, their two goals in the ongoing campaign have both been scored at home.

The Reds are winless across all competitions in 2025, and they have conceded 10 goals in their last three games in the World Cup qualifiers. They are winless on their travels in the qualifiers since 2013.

The Tricolours recorded a 2-0 home win in the World Cup qualifying match against the visitors in 2016, which remains their only home game in this fixture. With that in mind, and considering the Reds' recent record in the qualifiers, we back the hosts to eke out a narrow win.

Prediction: Lithuania 2-0 Malta
