Netherlands vs Lithuania prediction

Ronald Koeman led the Netherlands to the semi-finals of UEFA EURO 2024 and they were also impressive in the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League. However, two 1-1 draws against Poland has held the Oranje’s qualification party back and they have also been underwhelming in their performance level.

Another example of that came when they were 2-0 up in Vilnius before Lithuania made it 2-2 last month, ahead of the Dutch eventually nicking it. The Lithuanians have been the weakest side in Group G of European qualifying, sitting below a Malta side that defeated Poland the other day.

Lithuania have proven they can have joy against an unconvincing Dutch side but a comfortable home win remains the likeliest outcome for this one.
