Lithuania vs Bulgaria: Predictions and Betting Tips

Lithuania

The Lithuanians go into their sixth match at the bottom of Group C, having lost all five matches and having scored just one goal and conceded 13 goals. Morale amongst Lithuanians fans must be very low at the moment.

The two home games they have played ended in 1-4 and 0-2 losses, so this is not much of an advantage for the team either.

Bulgaria

The Bulgarians started Group C as likely contenders to finish bottom of the group with the Lithuanians, but, surprisingly, they have taken five points from five matches, and are only three points behind second-placed Switzerland, although it is true that the Bulgarians have played one match more.

Regardless of whether they qualify or not, the Bulgarians have been on a run of good performances, including a 1-1 draw with Italy.

In their two away games, the Bulgarians drew twice, against Italy and Northern Ireland.

Lithuania vs Bulgaria Predictions

Despite being the two worst teams in Group C, we see Bulgaria several steps above Lithuania, and, currently, it seems that the Bulgarians are playing much better than what we have been accustomed to in recent years. For this reason, and despite Lithuania playing at home, we see Bulgaria as favourites to win this match.
