Lithuania vs Italy World Cup Qualify 2022 Preview and Prediction Live Soccer streams

Lithuania vs Italy

World Cup Qualification
Date: Wednesday, 31 March 2021
Kick-off at 19:45 UK/ 20:45 CET
Venue: LFF stadionas.

Group C comprises of two heavyweights along with three absolute minnows. There’s no confusion as to which two of these five teams will finish in the two two positions – the Azzurri and Switzerland.

The only question is who will secure the top-most spot, and who will have to settle for the second position. Group champions will secure direct entry into the World Cup, while the runner-up will have to go through the arduous journey of second round of Qualifiers.

For Roberto Mancini’s men, this is a matter of pride. They had missed out on playing the 2018 World Cup – which was nothing short of national embarrassment for the four-time world champions.

They are adamant about making it to the 2022 edition, and learning from their mistakes, they have prioritized a direct entry to the competition.

Frankly speaking, no matter if you are a favorite or not, anything can happen in the second round of the Qualifiers and further in the playoffs.

As of now, both the Azzurri and Switzerland have a 100% winning record so far, and are placed first and second in the table. Both have also scored the same number of goals so far, but the Swiss have let in an extra goal.

Thus, owing to a better goal difference, Mancini’s men take the mantle. By the looks of things, the final standings in Group C could come down to the wire, and goal difference will probably play a huge role.

Thus, the Azzurri are under pressure to deliver huge wins in each one of their match-ups. This Wednesday, they are pitted against the Rinktine, who are ranked 129th in the world. Moreover, the 2006 World Cup winners also have a terrific h2h record against them over the years.

Confidently expect an Italian victory this match-day.

Lithuania vs Italy: Head-to-head (h2h)

• Mancini’s men have a 100% winning record since 1990, barring just two draws.
• They have kept clean sheets in all but one fixture during this period.
• The latest clash had ended in a 0-2 win for them on the road.
• At home, Valdas Urbonas’s men are yet to score a goal.

Lithuania vs Italy Prediction

Rinktine lost 1-0 on the road the last match-day, against Switzerland. In the meantime, the Azzurri had registered a 0-2 win on the road against Bulgaria.

Going on, Mancini’s men are on a five-game winning run, and had a combined scorecard of 12-0 in the process. They are also on a 24-fixture unbeaten run, and of these, 19 were wins.

On the other hand, their counterparts had lost three of their last four fixtures, and they have won just twice at home in the past five years.

Moreover, the four-time world champions also have a great h2h record against this rival over the past several years.

For the reasons, expect Italy to deliver a superb win this Wednesday.
