Scotland vs Lithuania Predictions, Betting Tips and Preview

Scotland v Lithuania predictions and football betting tips for this weekend’s World Cup 2018 qualifying match with the best odds for each selection.

 

Can Scotland make it six points from six when they take on Lithuania this week? Gordon Strachan’s side are in the same group as England, and they have their eye on a spot at Russia 2018. With key games against some of the group’s top sides coming, the Scots can’t afford to slip up at Hampden.

 

Scotland vs Lithuania Predictions

 

Lithuania were close to joining Scotland and England on maximum points after the opening round of games. They were 2-0 up against Slovenia, before conceding twice in the final 13 minutes. Scotland came close to slipping up in Malta, as they were drawing 1-1 at half-time. However, four second half goals saw them wrap up a comfortable win to kick start their campaign. You’d expect the Scots to score a few in this game. Having hit 15 in their last four qualifying games, they’re in fantastic scoring form. Given the late goals in their opening games, we’re backing a goal after 75 minutes for the first Scotland vs Lithuania betting tip here. A goal for either side in the last 15 is 23/20 with Betway.

Anytime Goalscorer Tips

Robert Snodgrass missed out all of the qualifying campaign for Euro 2016, and he quickly showed his worth on his return. He hit three of Scotland’s five goals in Malta. The Hull City man is preparing for a first Hampden appearance in three years, and we’re backing him to mark it with a goal for our second Scotland vs Lithuania prediction. While he has come up a little short in Hull’s clashes with Chelsea and Liverpool, before that he had seven goals in as many games for club and country. We think he’ll be back among the goals against Lithuania, so we’re backing him to score any time at 5/2 with 888Sport.

Scotland vs Lithuania Team News

Scotland take a young team in to this game. RB Leipzig’s Oliver Burke could make a fourth appearance, while 19-year-old Celtic star Keiran Tierney could win a second cap. Aston Villa’s Ross McCormack misses out on the squad altogether after a poor start to the season.

 

Head to Head Stats

These two sides have met eight times in total. Scotland won home and away against Lithuania when they fell just short of making Euro 2008. In the four home clashes they’ve had with their next opponents, the Scots have won all four and conceded just once.

 

Scotland vs Lithuania Betting Odds

Scotland are heavy favourites to add to their winning start. Coral price them at 1/2 to sees of Lithuania. The visitors are 13/2 outsiders with Bet Victor. That would take a big turnaround in form for the Lithuanians. They’ve failed to record an away win in over two years, while they’ve scored in just two of their last 11 away games. Backing the Scots to win to nil at 11/10 with Sk yBet looks like a good value bet to complete this weekend’s football tips on the match.
