Liechtenstein vs Lithuania Prediction, Odds and Betting Tips

Competition: UEFA Nations League D · Date: 2026-09-24 · Kick-off: 20:45 CET · Round: Matchday 1 — Group D2 · Venue/location: Rheinpark Stadion, Vaduz

Liechtenstein host Lithuania at Rheinpark Stadion in Vaduz on September 24 in the opening match of Group D2. Lithuania, Azerbaijan and Liechtenstein make up the group, with only four league matches for each country. That format increases the value of avoiding an early defeat and can naturally encourage a more controlled first round.

Lithuania coach Edgaras Jankauskas selected 26 players. Džiugas Bartkus, Edvinas Gertmonas and Tomas Švedkauskas are the goalkeepers, while Edgaras Utkus, Justas Lasickas, Pijus Širvys, Kipras Kažukolovas and Artemijus Tutyškinas are among the defensive options. Gvidas Gineitis, Vykintas Slivka and Modestas Vorobjovas give the midfield an experienced base, with Armandas Kučys, Manfredas Ruzgis and Ignas Venckus listed as forwards.

A projected Lithuania XI is Edvinas Gertmonas; Justas Lasickas, Edgaras Utkus, Kipras Kažukolovas, Pijus Širvys; Gvidas Gineitis, Vykintas Slivka, Modestas Vorobjovas; Artūr Dolžnikov, Armandas Kučys, Faustas Steponavičius. The exact front line is the least certain area and should remain labelled as projected.

Liechtenstein's current pool includes Justin Ospelt, Gabriel Foser and Lorenzo Lo Russo in goal; Max Göppel, Lars Traber, Andreas Malin, Luca Beck and Jens Hofer in defence; Aron Sele, Livio Meier, Liam Kranz and Sandro Wolfinger among the midfield options; and Ferhat Saglam, Dennis Salanović, Villiam Pizzi, Fabio Luque-Notaro, Kenny Kindle and Emanuel Zünd in attack.

A projected Liechtenstein structure is Justin Ospelt; Lars Traber, Andreas Malin, Max Göppel; Sandro Wolfinger, Aron Sele, Livio Meier, Liam Kranz, Luca Beck; Dennis Salanović, Ferhat Saglam. Konrad Fünfstück has enough options to vary the shape, so this should not be treated as a confirmed XI.

The Under 2.5 market is built around game state rather than requiring either side to keep a clean sheet. Lithuania have the stronger individual midfield options and may control more possession, but Liechtenstein can prioritise compactness at home. A 1-0, 1-1 or 2-0 result all remain inside the selection.

Statistical coverage is partial: a complete 22/22 Statistical Core with comparable current-cycle HOME data for Liechtenstein and AWAY data for Lithuania, including xG, xGA, shots, shots on target, possession and corners, is unavailable in the cited material. Those metrics remain unavailable rather than being estimated.
