Lithuania will go in search of their first win in Group C of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers when they host Northern Ireland, who are also searching for a first win. At 134th in the world, Lithuania are the lowest ranked in this group and it reflects on their placing in the pool. They have no point and bottom, while Northern Ireland have one point, in third place. Lithuania go into this game on the back of six straight losses, and seven defeats in 10 matches. They’ve failed to score in five of their last six matches and conceded two goals or more in four of their last six, with no clean sheet in the last nine. In World Cup qualification matches, Lithuania have no win in nine, eight of them being losses. In five of their last nine matches in World Cup qualification, Lithuania have trailed at half time and full time. Going to this game they have straight losses in their last four home matches in World Cup qualifiers, failing to score in three.

Northern Ireland are ranked 83 places higher than Lithuania, and head to this game on a slightly better run than their hosts. They have a draw and a win in their last five matches but just like Lithuania, they’ll also be searching for their first win in this group and have to improve in attack, having failed to score in three of the last five matches. They have conceded two or more in four of the last 10 matches and won just one of the 10, while keeping two clean sheets. Six of their last 10 matches have ended in under 2.5 goals and each of their last five World Cup qualification away matches has produced under 2.5 goals. They are also without a win in their last three away World Cup qualification matches.
