Lithuania
After holding De Bruyne-less Belgium to a draw, Republic of Ireland will look to return to winning ways when they take on Lithuania at Aviva Stadium. The Boys in Green are seen as favourites to win Tuesday’s clash, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. All Jimmy Dunne, Mark Sykes, and Connor Ronan expect to earn their first Ireland cap, with both Troy Parrott and Scott Hogan pushing for a start.
The Lithuanians, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over San Marino, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in Dublin. Augustinas Klimavicius, who scored on his Lithuania debut, should keep his place in the starting XI, but he is unlikely to help the former Soviet Republic spoil Ireland’s party at Aviva Stadium. In their last meeting on the international stage Ireland defeated Lithuania 2-1, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.

Lithuania was occupied by Soviet Union in 1940 and 50 years later they regained their independence. The Lithuania national football team played their first official game on June 24, 1923, with the team suffering a heavy 5-0 loss to Estonia in Kaunas.
The former Soviet republic have yet to book their place at the finals of a major tournament, but they were competitive in the UEFA Euro 2004 qualifiers as they managed to play out a draw with Germany on the road. Lithuania managed to beat Scotland in the qualifiers for the 2004 European Championship, but they eventually failed to book their place at the showpiece tournament in Portugal. Marius Stankevicius is considered Lithuania’s most notable footballer as he played for the likes of Lazio, Hannover, Sampdoria, Sevilla and Valencia in the past.
