Lithuania vs. Georgia: Soccer Friendly Showdown

Lithuania is set to play Georgia in an international friendly match on Sunday at the Darius and Girėnas Stadium. This game concludes the current international break commitments for both national teams.

Earlier this week, Lithuania achieved a 2-0 away victory against Moldova, marking their first win of 2024. Justas Lasickas opened the scoring in the first half, and Gvidas Gineitis extended the lead after halftime.

Georgia's recent performance saw them draw 2-2 with Israel. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored two goals, but Israel managed to equalize in the second half.

Historically, the two nations have met seven times, with Georgia leading the head-to-head record 4-3. Their most recent friendly encounter in 2018 resulted in a 4-0 win for Georgia.

Recent form indicates challenges for Georgia, who are winless in their last five games across all competitions, suffering four defeats and conceding at least two goals in each. Lithuania has managed two clean sheets in their last three matches but has also failed to score in two of those games.

Lithuania has won two of their three home matches against Georgia and kept clean sheets in those victories. Despite Lithuania's recent win, they are winless at home in friendlies since 2020. Georgia, however, has shown better scoring form, netting at least two goals for the first time in five matches in their recent outing. They previously won an away friendly against Montenegro 3-1 in 2024.

Considering Georgia's squad quality and improved goal-scoring form, they are favored to win this encounter. The prediction is a 1-2 victory for Georgia.
