The Italians are the current European champions and, by a large margin, the best team in the group. Lithuania, on the other hand, is the worst of the bunch, finishing dead bottom on the table. Without a doubt, Italy will win this Wednesday at the Mapei.
FIFA has Italy ranked 5th in the world, while their adversary is ranked 134th. The Azzurri are currently preparing to compete for the Nations League title, as well as the World Cup in Qatar next year.
Meanwhile, Lithuania has been on a long losing streak and has been leaking a lot of goals. They are ranked last in the group, as expected, and have made the most concessions.
Furthermore, they have a dismal head-to-head record versus their rival over the years.
Expect Italy to win this game week, based on the current situation.
The Italians were held to a goalless draw by Switzerland on the previous matchday. Meanwhile, Lithuania was defeated 1-0 by Bulgaria on the road.
Italy is currently on a 36-match unbeaten streak that dates back to September of last year, during which time they have also won 11 games. They are also the current European champions, with their sights set on the world championship.
Their opponent, on the other hand, is one of the poorest teams in the world, with an eight-game losing streak.
