Analysis and prediction for Lithuania vs Romania: The favorites will dominate.

Latest team news for Lithuania vs Romania

Mircea Lucescu seems to have settled on his preferred lineup and players, with Trabzonspor striker Denis Dragus leading the 4-3-3 formation, but he may consider rotating Romania's squad when facing a weaker opponent.

In addition, the visiting team's midfield trio will continue to feature free-kick specialist Razvan Marin, who has scored three penalty goals in three Nations League matches, along with Marius Marin and captain Nicolae Stanciu.

Veteran goalkeeper Florin Nita – Stanciu's teammate at Saudi Pro League club Damac – is expected to continue as the starting goalkeeper, but Horatiu Moldovan and Stefan Tarnovanu have both been given opportunities recently.

Meanwhile, Lithuania is expected to continue relying on Armandas Kucys in attack, although the supporting lineup may change slightly.

Paulius Golubickas scored as a substitute in the previous game, while 94-time international striker Fedor Cernych has the most international goals (15) among the home team's players, and both will be looking for opportunities to come on from the bench.

Goalkeeper Edvinas Gertmonas will have the opportunity to reunite with some familiar faces, as he is currently playing for Universitatea Cluj in the Romanian SuperLiga.

Latest predicted lineups for Lithuania vs Romania

Lithuania:

Gertmonas; Sirvys, Kazukolovas, Girdvainis, Tutyskinas; Vorobjovas, Gineitis; Dolznikov, Slivka, Cernych; Kucys

Latest football match prediction: Lithuania vs Romania

After maintaining a perfect record in Group 2 last weekend, Romania is now leading the group with a total of nine points, bringing them closer to promotion to the second tier of European competition.

In September, not long after their Euro 2024 journey ended in the first knockout round, the Tricolorii team overcame Kosovo and Lithuania – scoring three goals in both matches – and continued their consistent form on Saturday night.

Serie A stars Dennis Man and Razvan Marin gave the visitors a two-goal lead against Cyprus in Larnaca, before Tottenham Hotspur defender Radu Dragusin sealed a 3-0 victory just before half-time.

Since veteran coach Mircea Lucescu replaced Edward Iordanescu last summer – returning to the national team hot seat after 38 years since his first stint – Romania has continued to make recent progress.

Currently ranked 45th in the latest FIFA world rankings, they extended their unbeaten run of seven away qualifying matches by securing two away wins in this year's Nations League.

Romania are currently looking for three more points on their journey, and they certainly have a historical advantage: they have won all six of their most recent encounters with Lithuania, starting from the 2008 World Cup qualifying match.

Lithuania's most recent defeat in that run was a 3-1 loss last month in Bucharest, where they could have earned a point if the home side hadn't scored two late goals.

After narrowly avoiding relegation from League C in the 2022-23 Nations League season – thanks to a play-off victory against Gibraltar – Trispalves are now facing another relegation battle this season, having lost all three of their opening matches.

Following losses to Romania, an opening defeat against Cyprus, and a 2-1 loss to Kosovo yesterday.
