THE PREDICTION
Lithuania have lost both of their Group C games so far and currently sit bottom of the table with no points and no goals to their name, so this encounter with Northern Ireland has the feeling of a must win game not only for them, but also for the visitors who have just one point although positive signs were taken from their 0-0 draw against Bulgaria. Provided Ian Baraclough’s side can show the same defensive stability that saw them keep a clean sheet over Bulgaria, then they will be confident of at least shutting out the hosts, who are yet to score a World Cup qualification goal. With Lithuania expected to push men forward in a bid for that elusive goal, this may lead to Northern Ireland punishing them on the counter attack and with that in mind, the away side are well worth considering here draw no bet.
