We said: Romania 3-0 Lithuania

Romania were famed more for their defensive solidity under Iordanescu, but it was their attacking play that caught the eye in Pristina, and Lithuania could face a similar wrath here. The visitors slumped to a poor home defeat to open the campaign and there is nothing to suggest that they can spring a huge surprise here to lift themselves off the bottom of the standings.
