Lithuania 1-2 Kosovo

Current streaks

Recent form

Lithuania

Lithuania's recent form has been concerning, with only one win in their last six matches. They are currently on a three-game losing streak, which began with a 2-0 defeat to Montenegro in the Euros Qualifiers and continued with losses to Cyprus and Romania in the UEFA Nations League. Their offensive output has been lackluster, scoring just 0.67 goals per game, while their defense has struggled, conceding 1.33 goals per game. The team has managed only one clean sheet in this period, which came in their 2-0 victory against Latvia in the Baltic Cup. Interestingly, 83% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a trend towards low-scoring affairs. The most goals in a single game during this stretch came in their recent 3-1 loss to Romania, which stands out as an anomaly in an otherwise low-scoring run of matches.

Kosovo

Kosovo's recent form has been inconsistent, with a notable improvement in their latest match. The team is currently on a run of three consecutive losses, which was broken by an impressive 4-0 victory against Cyprus in their most recent UEFA Nations League game. This high-scoring win is particularly noteworthy as it accounts for 80% of Kosovo's total goals scored in their last six matches. Defensively, Kosovo has struggled, conceding 9 goals in 6 games, but managed to keep clean sheets in their two victories. The team's goal-scoring has been feast or famine, with two games accounting for all their goals, while they failed to score in the other four matches. Interestingly, there hasn't been a single game where both teams scored, highlighting the all-or-nothing nature of Kosovo's recent performances.

Recent home/away form

Lithuania

Lithuania's recent home form has been characterized by resilience and consistency, albeit without securing victories. In their last six home matches, they have managed four draws and suffered two losses, demonstrating an ability to compete but struggling to claim outright wins. The team has been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with three of the six games featuring four or more goals, including a thrilling 2-2 draw against both Hungary and Montenegro. Lithuania has shown a tendency to both score and concede, with both teams finding the net in 83% of these matches. Their offensive output has been steady, averaging 1.17 goals per game, but defensive frailties are evident with 1.67 goals conceded per match and no clean sheets during this period. The even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals suggests unpredictable scoring patterns, making their matches potentially exciting for neutral observers.

Kosovo

Kosovo's recent away form shows a mix of impressive performances and setbacks. They've secured three wins in their last six away games, including a notable 4-0 victory against Cyprus in their most recent UEFA Nations League match. This high-scoring game stands out as their most dominant away performance in the given period. Kosovo has demonstrated defensive solidity with three clean sheets in these six matches, conceding an average of just one goal per game. However, they've also experienced two consecutive losses against Norway and Hungary, both ending in 3-0 and 2-0 defeats respectively. Their goal-scoring record is respectable, averaging 1.5 goals per game, with a total of 9 goals scored across these six away fixtures. Interestingly, the matches have been evenly split between low-scoring affairs (under 2.5 goals) and higher-scoring encounters (over 2.5 goals), indicating a varied offensive output in their away performances.
