This weekend, Bulgaria and Lithuania, two nations still searching for their first victory in European Championship qualifying Group G, are set to engage in an intriguing clash.
Bulgaria, having failed to qualify for yet another World Cup, sought to respond and found success in the Nations League. They achieved their best result in the competition since 2018/19 by finishing second in Group 4 of League C. Regrettably, this positive performance did not carry over to their European Championship qualifying matches. After five games, the nation remains winless, with three defeats and two draws.
Lithuania has not yet achieved their first victory in this competition. Adding to their challenges, the Lithuanians approach this weekend’s match after an impressive streak of seven unbeaten games in all competitions. Nevertheless, we anticipate that Lithuania will draw motivation from their previous two encounters with Bulgaria, where they remained undefeated, making them hopeful for the upcoming game.
Bulgaria vs Lithuania Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Bulgaria has encountered a significant issue in recent months &— their struggle to score goals. In just one out of their last nine matches across all competitions, Mladen Krstajić’s team managed to score more than 1.5 goals. Moreover, seven of those games concluded with two or fewer goals, providing the primary rationale behind our anticipation of a closely contested match.
Apart from two games in September where they scored a total of three goals, Lithuania has not been able to display much offensive strength. In their last eleven matches across all competitions, the visitors have only managed to score five goals.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Bulgaria vs Lithuania prediction: 1-0

Bulgaria team news
In his squad, Bulgarian coach Mladen Krstajić has three goalkeepers: Dimitar Mitov from ST JOHNSTONE, Daniel Naumov from CSKA 1948, and Ivan Dyulgerov from CHERNO MORE.
Despite Daniel Naumov’s impressive performance in the First League this season, Ivan Dyulgerov is still anticipated to start in the upcoming EURO qualifiers. He has been a consistent starter in the last three matches, and it is unlikely to see any changes this weekend.
After netting six goals in 11 matches for Arda in the Bulgarian top division, Preslav Borukov has demonstrated his scoring prowess. Additionally, he recently marked his first international goal against Montenegro as a substitute player. With these achievements, Borukov is expected to vie for a starting position in upcoming matches.

Lithuania team news
Fedor ÄŒernych, the striker from AEL Limassol, will remain a vital asset for Lithuania as he has already made significant contributions in European Championship qualifying with a goal and an assist.
In the attacking zone, the striker originally from Russia will receive assistance from Gytis Paulauskas, who has already netted two goals in this tournament. On the defensive front, it is crucial to keep an eye on Rokas Lekiatas, the Siauliai defender.
