Lithuania vs Netherlands Preview

• Competition: UEFA World Cup Qualifiers
• Date: Sunday, 7 September 2025
• Kick-off Time: 4:00 pm GMT
• Venue: S. Dariaus ir S. Gireno stadionas, Kaunas, Lithuania

Matchday six of the UEFA Qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup will include the Lithuania National Team welcoming the Netherlands at the S. Dariaus ir S. Gireno stadionas, Kaunas, on Sunday afternoon. Lithuania is currently in the fourth spot in the group with three points. The Dutch National Team, on the other hand, has collected seven points so far and is at the top due to a superior goal difference. Poland, Finland, and Malta are the other three nations involved in Group G. The Lithuania vs Netherlands fixture should be a walk in the park for the visitors.

The recent results of the Lithuanian National Team have been atrocious. In the last six games, the nation has managed three draws to go with three defeats. During this period, Lithuania has scored just three goals and conceded a staggering ten. Those three draws against Finland and twice against Malta have brought about the only points for Lithuania in the World Cup Qualifiers. Edgaras Jankauskas and his players will have to deliver a performance of the ages to tackle the Netherlands on matchday six.

Inconsistencies and mixed results have marked the latest games of the Netherlands National Team. La Oranje have accumulated two victories, three draws, and a defeat in the last six outings. The Netherlands was close to achieving a streak of three consecutive wins, but Matty Cash's late equaliser on matchday five meant that Ronald Koeman had to contend himself with just a solitary point. The draw has left the Dutch level on points with Poland and Finland, albeit with a game in hand. Koeman will be wary not to get complacent and keep working hard towards the goal of first place and, consequently, direct qualification. The Netherlands has scored 3.7 goals per game, which is the second highest in the current qualifying competition.
