Republic of Ireland vs Lithuania Prediction
The Republic of Ireland are enjoying a good spell at the moment and are on a seven-game unbeaten run. They have come a long way from their 2020 showings in which they failed to win a football game all year and will now be looking to continue their good form.
Lithuania have won just two of their last 14 games across all competitions. Their latest result marked just their second win on the road since they beat Kazakhstan 2-1 in 2020. The hosts should win this one.
Prediction: Republic of Ireland 2-0 Lithuania
