Lithuania vs Netherlands Preview and Team News
Lithuania Team News
Fortunately, Lithuania don’t have any major injuries in their squad and should be able to select their strongest possible XI. They tend to play in a 5-4-1 formation, which gives them a lot of defensive depth.
Currently ranked 143rd by FIFA, the team lack both quality and experience in attack, which leaves big holes in their aspirations to challenge opposition in the final third. They drew 1-1 with Malta in their last game.
That shortcoming will hamper their cause against the Dutch as well, but if Lithuania stick to the basics, such as short passing and disciplined marking, they may be able to avoid too big a catastrophe. Their aim should be to dispossess their opponents as much as possible and then recycle the ball to create chances in the attacking third.
Lithuania predicted lineup vs Netherlands (5-4-1): Gertmonas; Titas, Tutyskinas, Edvinas, Kipras, Upstas; Dolznikov, Gineitis, Modestas, Slivka; Gytis.
Netherlands Team News
Currently ranked seventh by FIFA, the Netherlands are one of the most dangerous teams in the world and should easily make it through to the World Cup. Although they missed out in 2018, they stormed back in the 2022 edition.
The Oranje lost in the quarterfinals to eventual champions Argentina in the last World Cup and will be seething to go back to the tournament with hopes of finally winning it for the first time.

Fortunately, they have no major absentees in their squad, and head coach Ronald Koeman will be able to pick the players who have impressed him the most. The Dutch drew 1-1 with Poland in their previous outing.
Nonetheless, a game against a side such as Lithuania suggests that the Dutch might use it as an opportunity to rotate and give younger players valuable minutes. This approach would not only boost morale but also give emerging talents a chance to stake their claim to be in the XI when tougher opponents come up.
Netherlands predicted lineup vs Lithuania (4-2-3-1): Flekken; Dumfries, de Vrij, van Dijk, Van de Ven; Gravenberch, de Jong; Gakpo, Kluivert, Simons; Depay.
Lithuania vs Netherlands Prediction
- Pick: Netherlands to win
- Odds: -909 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Lithuania 0-3 Netherlands
The Netherlands are expected to win this game thanks to their superior quality in all three departments: attack, midfield, and defense. Their players also bring far more experience than their Lithuanian counterparts.
Nearly every member of the Dutch squad competes in the world’s top leagues, which gives them the exposure and development opportunities that the home team’s players simply haven’t had.
For Lithuania, defending well will be crucial, especially in tracking the visitors’ roving wingers. The Netherlands, meanwhile, are likely to rely on the flanks as their primary route to build attacks.
Lithuania vs Netherlands Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 2.5 goals
- Odds: -192 (20Bet)
A total of over 2.5 goals will be expected in this match. The Netherlands are likely to dictate terms in the final third since Lithuania’s defense should be quite easy for them to break down. The likes of Memphis Depay and Cody Gakpo are tough to keep under control, and the hosts just have to hope that these players will miss their chances.
Nonetheless, for the Lithuanians, marking the Dutch players should begin in midfield, as that’s where their opponents usually build their play from.
However, with Ryan Gravenberch and Frenkie de Jong plying their trade in midfield, that will be a tall order. These two excel at breaking down opposition attacks, recycling the ball, and then sending weighted passes to their colleagues in the final third.
