Defensively, Romania has also shown improvement, with two clean sheets in their last three games, despite conceding an average of 1.17 goals per game over the six-game period. The team's ability to score and prevent goals has led to 67% of their recent matches featuring over 2.5 goals, indicating entertaining, high-scoring affairs.

Lithuania's recent home form has been underwhelming, with no victories in their last six matches at home. They've managed three draws and suffered three losses, including two consecutive defeats in their most recent games. Despite their struggles, Lithuania has been involved in some high-scoring encounters, with four out of six games seeing over 2.5 goals.

Romania

They are currently on a two-game winning streak, securing convincing 3-0 victories against both Cyprus and Kosovo in UEFA Nations League matches. These back-to-back clean sheets highlight their defensive improvement. Prior to this, Romania experienced a two-game losing streak, falling to Belgium and Colombia.
