Lithuania
But in the upcoming years, the ratio of power between these two teams has changed significantly, in favour of Slovenia, which means that Lithuania is definitely not the favourite in this duel, despite the fact that they achieved a maximum impact in the first two rounds of qualifications. Specifically, coach Pankratjevas’ players now have a fairly easier schedule, so they in the first round celebrated with 2-0 away against outsider San Marino , while they three days ago in a neighbouring derby against Estonia reached a victory of 1-0 at home.
Otherwise, the most deserving for these three points is their reservist Mikoliunas, who scored the only goal of the match 15 minutes before the end, which may have secured for the appearance in the starting lineup for this duel with Slovenia. It actually means that the experienced Kalonas will move to the bench, who has not exactly presented himself in the best light, while in turn the rest of the team should remain unchanged from that duel against Estonia.
Probable lineups Lithuania: Arlauskis – Vaitkunas, Freidgeimas, Kijanskas, Andriuskevicius – Panka, Vicius – Mikoliunas, Cernych, Novikovas – Matulevicius
Slovenia
As for the Slovenians, they have in the past qualifications had an excellent opportunity to get their hands on one big competition, because the group in which they played was not really difficult, however, they were not themselves, so they remained in third place, which did not brought them anything. In fact, Switzerland was possibly too strong, but they definitely had to do better against Iceland, Albania, Norway and Cyprus. Eventually they recorded five wins and five losses, and after that they played four friendly matches, again without draws.

Lithuania – Slovenia PICK
After they were in the first round in a similar away match in Estonia defeated with 1-0, we expect that the Slovenes will now be set much more firmly on the field against the Lithuania, which will above all hep them to score a goal, while they will seek their chance for further three points exclusively from counterattacks.
