The only two teams in Group G still searching for their first victory, Lithuania and Malta, meet on Thursday evening at the Steponas Darius and Stasys Girėnas Stadium. Kickoff is at 18:00.
Both sides are under pressure to turn around their fortunes. Lithuania have collected just two points so far, while Malta remain without a goal in the campaign and are winless in their last five matches.
Their most recent meeting back in June ended in a goalless stalemate. Lithuania’s last victory over Malta in World Cup qualifying came in 2016 with a 2-0 home win.
Head-to-head record:
- Jun 2025 – Malta 0-0 Lithuania
- Oct 2017 – Malta 1-1 Lithuania
- Oct 2016 – Lithuania 2-0 Malta
- Jun 2015 – Malta 2-0 Lithuania (Friendly)
