BOSNIA v LITHUANIA PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Bosnia are 29th in the FIFA World Rankings. Bosnia did not reach the finals of the 2010 World Cup or Euro 2012. They have scored 16 goals in 7 matches and conceded 7. Lithuania are currently 110th in the rankings. They also did not qualify for the finals of the 2010 World Cup or the 2012 European Championships. Lithuania scored 4 and conceded 13 in 8 qualifying matches for Euro 2012.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

On first glance Bosnia have a good recent scoring record averaging 2.67 goals over the last 10 matches. However, the figures are distorted somewhat by an 8-1 win against Lichtenstein. Tomas Danilevicius is the main goal scorer for Lithuania with 19 goals in 71 internationals. Edgaras Cesnauskis and Deividas Cesnauskis also make a contribution from midfield.

Bosnia had more possession in their game against Greece than the hosts but could not produce a successful strike on goal. They did have four shots on target but restricted Greece to just one attempt on goal. The corner count was heavily in favour of Greece which suggests that Bosnia did not use the ball effectively when they had possesion in the attacking third of the field. Edin Dzeko is their best striker and he will always be remenbdered by Manchester City fans for scoring the equalising goal when they beat Queens Park Rangers to win their first English title in 44 years. Bosnia can dominate possesion against Lithuania and Dzeko should have oportunities to improve on his international record of 25 goals in 48 matches. Tomas Danilevicius is unlikely to see much of the ball in the role as a single striker for Lithuania

BOSNIA - LITHUANIA PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

This match looks like providing one of the home bankers of the schedule as Bosnia should be too strong for a Lithuania side 81 places below their opponents in the rankings. Bosnia bear Latvia at home 4-1 last month and that side are at a similar level to Lithuania. The away side are unlikely to score and are looking at the prospect of a defeat by a number of goals.

Take the 1.25 with 188Bet for a home win.

BOSNIA - LITHUANIA PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

If Bosnia can beat Latvia by 3 goals at home they can do something similar in this match. They also scored eight goals against Liechtenstein, though that is a far weaker side than Lithuania. Scoring goals brings about confidence and a tally of 12 in their last two matches suggests Bosnia can win this game by more than two goals.

Bosnia can give up 2 goals at 2.35 with Pinnacle Sports.

BOSNIA - LITHUANIA PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

Lithuania are rare goalscorers overall and even more so away from home so Bosnia should win this game to nil. Assuming their supremacy should be significant and they can rack up several goals over 2.5 goals in this match looks to be an appealing bet.

Go to Stan James to back more than 2 goals at 1.8.
