Their 96th-minute penalty against Malta kept their slim hopes alive, but they remain winless after four matches (D3, L1). Encouragingly, they are only four points behind second place, but their home record is troubling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Home woes<\/strong>: Only one win in their last 15 competitive home games.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Scoring struggles<\/strong>: More than one goal scored in just 2 of those fixtures.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Discipline<\/strong>: They will miss key defender Edgaras Utkus through suspension.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The hosts may look to <strong>Gvidas Gineitis<\/strong>, who has scored 3 times in his last seven internationals, to spark an upset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Netherlands: Top Spot Within Reach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Netherlands travels east after a frustrating 1-1 draw with Poland.
