Bulgaria and Lithuania will face each other at the Vasil Levski National Stadium on Saturday (14/10), in a match that will be the last chance for both teams to achieve their first win in EURO 2024 qualifying.
Both teams have no chance of qualifying for the main tournament to be held in Germany next summer, having collected just two points from five games so far. Bulgaria is third from bottom in Group G, ahead on goal difference from Lithuania who are at the bottom of the standings. Both teams were only able to achieve a draw against Montenegro and each other.
The host team Bulgaria came into this match with poor capital, after losing 1-2 to Montenegro in the previous match. They failed to capitalize on their man advantage for more than half an hour, after Igor Vujacic was sent off for a second yellow card.
Kiril Despodov, who is also the team captain, missed the penalty awarded due to Vujacic’s foul. Preslav Borukov managed to equalize in the 76th minute, but Stevan Jovetic scored Montenegro’s winning goal in the sixth minute of injury time.
On the other hand, Lithuania also does not have good capital, after losing 1-3 to Serbia in their previous match. They were three goals behind in the first half, all scored by Aleksandar Mitrovic. Gytis Paulauskas scored a consolation goal for Lithuania just before halftime.
Lithuania have also struggled to score goals, with just four goals in five matches. Two of the goals were scored by Paulauskas, who is the team’s mainstay on the front lines. He will be assisted by Fedor Cernych and Arvydas Novikovas, who play as wingers.
The first meeting between the two teams ended in a 1-1 draw in Lithuania last June. Lithuania took the lead through Paulauskas’ goal in the 11th minute, but had to play with 10 men from the 28th minute after Justas Lasickas saw a red card for fouling Marin Petkov. Bulgaria equalized through Petkov’s goal in the 45th minute.
This match will most likely be a fierce battle between the two bottom teams who want to get their first win. Both teams have nothing to lose, so they will likely play more attacking and open.
