Match Preview
The nations comfortably adrift in the bottom and second bottom place of World Cup Qual. UEFA Group F , Malta and Lithuania, take to the field on Thursday in Attard in a battle for pride and bragging rights that is unlikely to set pulses racing. The home team have won just once in twenty international matches ahead of our Malta vs Lithuania preview, making them one of the worst teams at an international level statistically speaking. Pietro Ghedin’s side have been swatted aside eight times out of eight in Group F so far and they haven’t scored a goal for three matches.

The away side haven’t fared much better than their opponents this week, their only victory from their previous eleven actually came against the Maltese in the reverse Group F fixture between the two in October 2016. The Lithuanians won 2-0 in Vilnius on that occasion thanks to goals from Fedor Cernych and Arvydas Novikovas. That victory was just their second since 2015.
The teams analysed in our Malta vs Lithuania betting tips have played each other four times previously. The visitors have won twice, the hosts once, and there has been one draw between them – a 1-1 tie back in 2002. The unpredictability and irregular pattern of results has helped to shape today’s football odds. It looks as though the bookmakers aren’t entirely sure how this game will develop.
Malta vs Lithuania Prediction and Betting Advice
Any half decent side priced at evens to beat the Maltese simply have to be backed. The home side in our Malta vs Lithuania bets have scored just twice in their last nine fixtures. Their only three wins at international level since mid-2013 were friendly triumphs over the Faroe Islands, their opponents Lithuania, and a lacklustre Ukraine outfit. And while the visitors’ latest results have bordered on abysmal, they have avoided defeat in five of their last twelve attempts, placing them a level above their Group F rivals.
The Lithuanians can take their points tally to eight with a win in Attard, though for that to happen, manager Edgaras Jankauskas will have to see a huge improvement in productivity from strikers Deivydas Matulevičius and Kaiserslautern’s Lukas Spalvis in particular. Betsson have incredibly lucrative odds available for the outright markets for this face-off, so be sure to check them out.
Next up in today’s range of free football betting tips is a dip into the always exciting goal markets. Our Malta vs Lithuania predictions forecast that under 2.5 goals will be scored on Thursday.
