Lithuania (W) vs Montenegro (W) prediction, H2H and probable lineups – 3 June 2025
Lithuania (W)
Montenegro (W)
One of the clashes of the 6th round of the UEFA Women's Nations League group stage will take place on Tuesday at the LSC sporto kompleksas Druskininkai arena, where Lithuania will host Montenegro. Here's my pick for the outcome of this matchup—one with solid chances for success.
Match preview
The Lithuanian women's national team has been inconsistent lately, alternating between strong spells and disappointing setbacks. Yes, their recent emphatic away win over Azerbaijan (5-0) was a flash of brilliance, but it was preceded by four straight defeats—including to Montenegro (1-3)—as well as losses to Estonia and even the Faroe Islands.
The team has struggled at home—just one win in their last six matches, suffering shutout losses to Belarus (0-3), Georgia (0-1), and Azerbaijan (0-2). Defensive problems are evident, and they tend to find the net only against opponents who allow it—as was the case against Azerbaijan and Cyprus.
Montenegro, on the other hand, have shown much greater stability. The team is unbeaten in four straight matches and comfortably beat Lithuania at home (3-1) in the first leg. They currently top the group with five points from three games—the same as Azerbaijan, but their rivals have already played all their matches.
The Montenegrins are quite comfortable on the road: a draw with Azerbaijan (0-0) in the Nations League and a resounding friendly win over North Macedonia (5-1) are proof of that. While there have been slip-ups—like the 0-5 loss to Finland—compared to Lithuania, they look far more organized and driven.
Probable lineups
- Lithuania (W): Šeškutė M., Rogačeva L., Liuzinaitė M., Mikutaitė A., Neverdauskaitė V., Romanovskaitė T., Vaitukaitytė L., Galkina M., Supelytė E., Jonusaitė R., Lazdauskaitė U.
- Montenegro (W): Krstović A. (gk), Janjušević A., Đurković T., Đukić D., Popović A., Toskovic A., Ličina S., Đoković J., Desić M., Bulatović S. (c), Kuc A.
Match facts and head-to-head
- In their first meeting in February, Montenegro confidently beat Lithuania 3-1
- Lithuania have lost 4 of their last 5 home matches, with an aggregate score of 1-13
- Montenegro are unbeaten in their last three Nations League games
Prediction
Right now, Montenegro look significantly more promising. They have structure, experience, and more consistent results both home and away. Lithuania might offer resistance if they score early, but judging by recent games—even that doesn't guarantee success. Expect the visitors to once again show their quality and take all three points.
