Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:
Serbia are at 1.12 to win, a draw is at 8.50, and a Lithuania win is at 17.00.
First place here in League C, Group 4 has been nearly sealed up after Serbia defeated Montenegro on Saturday. That puts the Serbians on a total of 11 points from five matches, but they still have some work to do because they are just two ahead of Romania. A win is still required, just in case Romania win. As for Lithuania, they will not have a chance to move off the bottom after they've lost all five of their matches so far in the group.
After the win against Montenegro, Serbia now have six wins, two draws, and four losses in the past year. Since the end of the World Cup, they have not lost a single match, with all of them taking place in this competition. This is a team that looks like it is angry to have been put in this League, and the results show as much. Lithuania's last year has included one win, one draw, and nine losses overall in an abysmal year for them The only win they have had came against Armenia back in March, and they now find themselves with no wins in their last nine games.
Serbia to lead at half and full time can be had for 1.53 at Betfair.
Both teams scoring is at 2/5 at Ladbrokes.
Lithuania's best chance to get some points in this group might come in this match, but to win in Serbia will be tough, even against a rotated team. Serbia continues to roll and shows why they won the group.
Mladen Krstajic will be missing out on goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic and midfielders Filip Kostic, Sergej Milenkovic-Savic, and Nenan Ksticic through injuries, but he still has a very strong team.
Aleksandar Mitrovic once again scored, for the fifth time in five group matches, against Montenegro on Saturday to give his side a 2-0 lead. Eventually, it would become the winning goal for them after the opposition had pulled one back. He's just so lethal in international football, and if he plays he's one to watch yet again. Pulling the strings in midfield is Dusan Tadic. The Ajax man set up the first goal of the match with the aforementioned opponents, and he remains one of the trickiest customers in the group.
Serbia have three wins and two draws in their last five matches:
2-1 home win vs Montenegro (UNL)
0-0 draw at Romania (UNL)
0-2 win at Montenegro (UNL)
2-2 home draw vs Romania (UNL)
0-1 win at Lithuania (UNL)
Edgaras Jankauskas will be missing key attacking midfielder Arvydas Novikovas after he was shown the red card on Saturday against Romania in their loss. Other players that were not called in at all include defender Tomas Mikuckis, midfielder Simonas Paulius and Ovidijus Verbickas, and striker Karolis Laukzemis.
It has been a very, very rough time in this competition so far for Lithuania, but they do have one bright spot in striker Fedor Cernych. He has scored twice in the tournament so far, giving him eight goals in 46 international appearances so far. Another player that will have to have a superb showing is goalkeeper Ernestas Setkus if they hope to get a first point- or more- from this game. The Hapoel Haifa man absolutely has to stand on his head, you would think, in order for them to shake up this group.
Lithuania have lost all five of their last five matches:
3-0 loss at Romania (UNL)
1-4 home loss vs Montenegro (UNL)
1-2 home loss vs Romania (UNL)
2-0 loss at Montenegro (UNL)
0-1 home loss vs Serbia (UNL)
