Contents
- Competition: European Qualifiers &— Group G
- Date: Tuesday, 17th, October 2023
- Kickoff: 19:45 UTC +1 / 20.45 CEST
- Venue: Darius and Girenas Stadium (Kaunas)
Hungary is excited to join the teams that have already qualified for the 2024 European Championship in Germany. They are determined to secure all three points in their upcoming match against Lithuania in Group G qualifiers. The game will take place at the Darius and Girenas Stadium on Tuesday.
It appears that the Lithuanians are still hanging on! Led by Edgaras Jankauskas, they have revived their chances of qualifying for EURO 2024 with an impressive 2-0 win against Bulgaria as the visiting team, thanks to Pijus Sirvys’ outstanding two goals. Is it just a coincidence or perhaps something more? This victory is significant as it is the first competitive win for Rinktine since November 9, 2021, when they also defeated Bulgaria in the World Cup qualifiers. Now, with a five-point gap behind Serbia in second place, Lithuania is hoping for a miracle, even though the odds are incredibly slim.
Hungary has an opportunity to secure their spot in the European Championship finals in Germany next year if they can win in Kaunas. Led by Italian coach Marco Rossi, the Hungarian national team, known as the Nemzeti Tizenegy, has been incredibly successful in the current qualifying campaign. They have not lost a single match, winning four and drawing one out of their first five games. Their recent victory against Serbia, achieved with the support of passionate fans, has brought them closer to their third consecutive appearance at EURO.
Lithuania vs Hungary Betting Tips: Over 2.5
Lithuania, free from pressure and with nothing to lose in the upcoming qualification rounds, plans to initiate an early attack in hopes of catching the Group G leader off guard. Despite not winning a home game in the past two years, the Lithuanian national team, known as Rinktine, has proven their ability to score goals when playing in front of their home crowd, having scored in all three of their home games during this group stage. Given Hungary’s occasional defensive weaknesses, it is plausible that the Lithuanians could once again manage to find the back of the net.
Despite having insight, it remains difficult to predict success against Rossi’s squad. They have been highly productive in attack, scoring two or more goals in four of their last five qualification fixtures. In their only previous encounter in 2000, Hungary achieved a resounding 6-1 victory on Lithuanian soil. This history suggests that another exciting win is likely. Szoboszlai and his teammates are eager to approach the November qualifying window with freedom and no additional pressure. They are determined to give their all on Tuesday in order to secure the vital three points in Kaunas.

Lithuania team news
Head coach Edgaras Jankauskas is delighted with his players’ performance in a routine 2-0 away victory against Bulgaria. Despite being required to make at least one adjustment in the starting eleven, Jankauskas plans to keep the lineup unchanged for the upcoming match.
The central midfielder from Torino, Gvidas Gineitis, sadly had to leave the game 20 minutes before the final whistle in the fixture against Bulgaria due to an injury, casting doubt on his readiness for Tuesday’s encounter. In the event that he’s unable to participate, Matthias Remeikis is poised to fill his role in the midfield.

Hungary team news
As they gear up for their match in Kaunas, the Hungarian national team will have to manage without Zsolt Kalmar, the midfielder from MOL Fehervar. He found himself on the wrong side of two yellow cards and a subsequent red card during injury time in the clash against Serbia.
Despite his absence, coach Marco Rossi is likely to once again deploy Callum Styles, the midfielder from Barnsley, in the starting lineup. Meanwhile, Barnabas Varga, the forward from Ferencvaros, is expected to retain his position at the forefront of the attack, having netted three goals in his last four appearances.
