Liechtenstein will welcome Lithuania to Rheinpark Stadion in their UEFA Nations League campaign opener on Thursday. The visitors were relegated from League C in the 2024-25 campaign.
Blau-Rot had won their first game of the year but have suffered defeats in the three games since. They were last in action in a friendly against Cyprus in June and fell to a 2-0 defeat.
Thanks for the submission!
Rinktinė also won their first match of 2026 and went winless in regulation time in the subsequent three games. They met Estonia in the Baltic Cup final in June and fell to a narrow 1-0 defeat.

Liechtenstein vs Lithuania prediction
Blau-Rot have failed to score in 11 of their last 14 games in all competitions, while scoring a goal each in the remaining three. Notably, they have failed to score in their last three meetings against the visitors, which is cause for concern.
Rinktinė have kept just one clean sheet in their last five games in all competitions, while failing to score in three games in that period. Interestingly, their only loss in this fixture was registered away from home in 2011.
While both teams have struggled recently, the visitors have been the better side in recent games in this fixture. With that in mind and considering Blau-Rot’s poor run of form, we back Rinktinė to eke out a narrow win.
Prediction: Liechtenstein 1-2 Lithuania
