While Group G has two clear favourites for the top 2 spots, Finland is still pushing and has an outside chance to cause an upset. That task goes through a win against Lithuania here, who will be formally eliminated from the competition should they lose in Helsinki.
Finland Team News
Yes, Finland does still have a chance to make the top 2 in Group G, but it is realistically out of their hands at this stage. It came to this after a damaging 3-1 loss to the other main adversary for the 2nd place, Poland. This defeat also marked a bad run of form for the Finns, who have scraped just 1 win across their last 4 international fixtures. The inability of the Eagle-owls to secure points at home has been detrimental to their UNL campaign, and now as well. At the very least, their run of 4 consecutive losses at home came to an end in June after a 2-1 win against Poland.
Lithuania Team News
Lithuania sits 4th in Group G with just 3 points after 5 rounds and without much hope of causing any sort of upset. Still, Edgaras Jankauskas saw plenty of positives in his team’s 2-3 loss against the Netherlands, as it was a close affair that gave the favourites a run for their money. While Jankauskas believes that his team is getting closer to the stage where they can cause an upset, results for his side have been far from positive. Lithuania is currently on a 12-game winless run, with 9 of those fixtures resulting in a loss. The team’s last win in a competitive fixture came against Latvia in the 2024 semi-finals of the Baltic Cup.
Head-to-Head-Games
Finland and Lithuania have previously met on 2 occasions. Finland has yet to record a victory against Lithuania. Earlier in 2025, the reverse fixture between the teams in Group G ended in a 2-2 stalemate.
Finland vs Lithuania Betting Prediction
My expectation here is for a Finland win. Despite having issues with capitalising on their home matches, they are still in the running to qualify, even if their chance can be described as an outside one. What’s important is that the team ended a bad run of form at home against their main rival in the group, Poland and if they could pull a home win against them, I believe that they should be able to do so against Lithuania as well.
