Poland is set to face Lithuania in the World Cup qualifying round on Sunday, October 12, at 8:45 p.m. CET. Here’s a betting suggestion for the match.
Lithuania vs Poland: Match Preview
Lithuania’s hopes of qualifying for the World Cup are over. They have earned only three points from six games, without any wins. The team managed three draws, two against Malta and one against Finland. In their last match, they lost 1–2 to Finland. Lithuania is currently seven points behind the second and third spots and ten points behind the group leader. With only two matches left, their chances are gone.
Poland, on the other hand, is still in the race for a top-two finish and could even vie for first place. After losing 1–2 to Finland, they bounced back with a 3–1 win and a 1–1 draw with the Netherlands. If they can secure victories against Lithuania and Malta in their next matches, they will be in strong contention for second place. Furthermore, they have a potential opportunity to claim first place as they will host the Netherlands later, where a win could lift them to the top. To do so, Poland must win all remaining matches.
