Nations League: Lithuania vs Kazakhstan
Lithuania and Kazakhstan face off at the LFF stadionas in what was expected to be a close clash. Lithuania did a great job defeating New Zealand in a friendly in November, with the team regaining much needed confidence.
However, you should keep in mind that Valdas Urbonas' army only got 1 point out of 24 possible points in the Euro 2020 qualifiers. Lithuania has won 11 times in the Baltic Cup, only Latvia has won more. Despite this, Lithuania holds the record for the most consecutive Baltic Cup, four in a row from 1996 to 2000. Vytautas Andriuskevicius is playing for Portland Timbers at left-back. Andriuskevicius started his career at FBK Kaunas, but he made no more than 17 appearances for the Lithuanian club between 2007 and 2010, Andriuskevicius made his Lithuanian debut on 10 August 2011 in a friendly with Armenia. Valdas Urbonas stressed that the pandemic had significantly affected the composition of the squad, he wanted Ernestas Šetkas on the team, but his family circumstances did not allow him to come. Emilijus Zubas recently changed the club and he lacked practice, so decided not to invite him to the team but they had D. Bartkus, T. Švedkauskas and E. Gertmon instead. He wanted to see Ben Šatkas in defender, but he didn't have a long-term contract and started training late and called Antanavičius, who recently became the Slovenian champion to fillet, Antanavičius attracted the pay attention by stubborn play.
