Romania will be looking to maintain their 100% record in Group J of the 2024-25 Nations League campaign on Tuesday evening when they face Lithuania away.
Lithuania finished bottom of their group in the last Nations League and look set to do the same this time around. The Tricolours impressed on the opening day of the current campaign, losing by only one goal to Cyprus, but they flopped in the subsequent two games, shipping three goals against Romania on Match Day 2 and two against Kosovo last time out.
Romania meanwhile have responded well after finishing bottom of their group in the last Nations League campaign. El Tricolorii won all their three games so far, beating the likes of Kosovo, Lithuania and Cyprus. With their record against Lithuania in this competition also good, they will fancy their chances of making it four wins in a row on Tuesday.
Lithuania vs Romania Betting Tips: Romania to win & over 2.5 goals
It’s been four years since Lithuania last recorded a win in the Nations League. Edgaras Jankauskas’ side enter Tuesday’s game with a run of nine consecutive games in the competition without a win, losing eight and playing out one draw.
The Romanians are capable of outscoring any opponent on a good day. They scored exactly three goals in each of their last three outings but there are some lapses in their defence, with Mircea Lucescu’s side finishing just two of their last six encounters without conceding.
Recent meetings between Lithuania and Romania were also very entertaining. Each of the last three meetings ended with over 2.5 goals and I fancy a similar result on Tuesday night.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Lithuania vs Romania prediction: 1-3

Lithuania team news
Head coach Edgaras Jankauskas is expected to make wholesale changes to his Lithuania’s side that was on the pitch from kick-off in the defeat to Kosovo last time out.
Having come as a substitute to score the consolation goal in that encounter, Paulius Golubickas is among those who are expected to gain promotion from the bench on Tuesday.

Romania team news
Given the result and score-line against Cyprus in Lárnaka last time out, Romania head coach Mircea Lucescu will see no reason to make alterations to his XI.
Dennis Man, Valentin Mihăilă and Denis Drăguș have started each of the visitors’ three Nations League encounters so far and the trio should start upfront on Tuesday.
