Northern Ireland v Lithuania Betting Tips [12 November 2021]

Northern Ireland host Lithuania in a Group C encounter in the FIFA World Cup European qualifiers at Windsor Park. The hosts are placed fourth in the standings with five points from six games while the visitors have three points from seven fixtures already. Northern Ireland come into the game with a 2-1 defeat to Bulgaria. The defeat was the side’s second in consecutive matches. They also are without any wins in their last three games and their most recent victory was against Lithuania themselves in an away trip. Northern Ireland have been struggling to get clean sheets on board in their recent games and have just one in their last four qualifying games.

Lithuania have only one win to their name in the qualifiers as well but against Bulgaria. They come into the game with a very discouraging 4-0 defeat at home to Switzerland. They have no clean sheets in their last fourteen games and have had over 2.5 goals in six out of their last eight fixtures. Both the teams are out of contention for qualifying to the World Cup and are just playing for pride in the group stage.

There is not much difference between the two teams as far as standings in the league table are concerned. Both the teams have struggled to keep clean sheets in the qualification which makes it likely that a high scoring game is on the cards. We are going for over 2.5 goals in this fixture.
