The UEFA Euro Qualifier match between Lithuania and Serbia will take place at Darius And Girenas Stadium on Monday at 12:15 am IST.
Serbia, currently second in Group G of Euro 2024 qualifying after a midweek loss to Hungary, aims for a quick rebound as they face winless Lithuania in Kaunas on Sunday. Lithuania, who recently secured a point against Montenegro with a comeback, will look to finally clinch a victory. Both teams have distinct objectives, with Serbia striving to regain the group’s top spot, while Lithuania seeks their first qualifying win.
Lithuania continues their Euro 2024 qualification quest without a single win, having suffered two losses and two draws in Group G. Any hopes of a surprise top-two finish have already faded, with their recent spirited 2-2 draw against Montenegro merely lifting them off the bottom of the table, just ahead of Bulgaria based on goal difference. Lithuania’s national team is enduring a lengthy winless streak, stretching back 14 games to their last victory against San Marino over a year ago. Coach Edgaras Jankauskas aims to restore pride but faces a tough challenge against Serbia in their upcoming fixture.
Serbia entered their first three Euro 2024 qualifiers unbeaten but faced their top Group C rivals, Hungary, at the Marakana. Unfortunately for Dragan Stojkovic’s team, things didn’t go as planned. Despite initially taking the lead, Serbia couldn’t prevent Hungary from leaving with all three points. This loss allowed Montenegro, one of the teams Serbia previously defeated, to close the gap to just two points in the standings. With only four rounds left to secure a top-two finish for a guaranteed spot in Germany, Serbia cannot afford further setbacks. Stojkovic’s team must qualify for the European Championship finals, especially after their winless run at Qatar 2022, making a loss in Lithuania unthinkable.
Lithuania probable starting lineup: Gertmonas, Lasickas, Lekiatas, Girdvainis, Benetas, Verbickas, Gineitis; Novikovas, Cernych, Jankauskas, Paulauskas
Serbia probable starting lineup: V. Milinkovic-Savic, Veljkovic, Gudelj, Pavlovic, Zivkovic, Ilic, S. Milinkovic-Savic, Kostic, Tadic, Vlahovic, Mitrovic
