Kosovo v Lithuania Nations League Odds & Match Preview
Kick-off: 7.45pm UK Time, Monday 18th November 2024
Kosovo players caused their match with Romania to be abandoned after walking off following alleged pro-Serbia chants from the crowd and there is every chance that they will be punished as a result, while tonight’s opponents Lithuania have yet to collect a point from their campaign.
Top spot guaranteed
For the second time in 14 months, Kosovo players reacted to pro-Serbia chants by walking off the pitch and while the match resumed after the first occasion – a Euro 2024 qualifier in September 2023 – it is yet to be determined what the consequences will be for the latest refusal to complete a match. There is every chance that Romania will be handed the three points and this – if it happens – would guarantee them top spot in League C Group 2 with one game to spare.
Easily the better side
Kosovo were easily the better side in Bucharest and were on course to keep a clean sheet, while they created no less than seventeen chances while restricting their opponents to four. Manager Franco Foda will doubtless have been frustrated by his team’s actions but the Austrian still has a chance to take his side to League B for the very first time.
Bottom position
Since beating neighbours Latvia in the Baltic Cup in June, Lithuania have lost six on the bounce with ten goals conceded along the way. Five of these defeats came in the UEFA Nations League and the most recent was at the hands of Cyprus against whom they lost 2-1, a result which guarantees them bottom position and a possible relegation.
Very tough time
In order to claim a relegation play-off place against one of the League D runners-up, Lithuania will need to claim all three points tonight and hope that Northern Ireland do them a favour by beating Luxembourg in C3. Nevertheless, Lithuania have had a very tough time in this competition and will be up against a Kosovo side which have created a great many chances in their group outings, therefore we’ll be siding firmly with the home side to collect the spoils here and guarantee for themselves a top two finish.
Back Kosovo to win-to-nil at best odds of 6/5
