Lithuania vs Montenegro Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 7th September 2023

The fifth round of the qualifying for the European Championship sees Lithuania and Montenegro fighting for three points in a thrilling group stage match on Thursday at Dariaus Ir Gireno Stadium, with much on the line for both sides.

Montenegro got the better of Lithuania in the last two h2h meetings, winning by 4-1 and 2-0, respectively.

With the fourth round of the group stage done and dusted Lithuania are number five on one point. Meanwhile, Montenegro sit as number three with four points to their name.

Lithuania enter their upcoming game placed as number 144 in the FIFA world ranking. This leaves quite a gap to opponents Montenegro, who enter the game ranked number 71 in the world.

It is highly improbable that Lithuania will earn many points, as it is most likely they will finish bottom of the group, unless luck is on their side.

It would be a surprise if Montenegro managed to progress beyond the qualifying group stage, considering their status as an underdog to make it to the next stage.
