Northern Ireland are still looking for a first competitive win in 90 minutes under Ian Baraclough and will hope to earn it on Wednesday when they take on Lithuania.

The two nations clash in a World Cup qualifier, with neither having scored or won a game so far in the group stage, after two matches apiece.

Northern Ireland did at least draw with Bulgaria after a defeat to Italy - the Azzurri and Switzerland have both beaten Lithuania so far.

A victory here is vital for any optimistic hopes of finishing second in the group, which brings with it a play-off shot to make the finals in Qatar for 2022.

Here’s everything you need to know about the game.

When is the match?

The game kicks off at 7:45pm (BST) on Thursday 2 September at the Vilniaus LFF Stadionas.

Where can I watch it?

The match will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football. Subscribers can stream the match via the Sky Go app. If you’re not a Sky customer you can grab a NOWTV Day Pass here to watch without a subscription.

Odds

Prediction

Both teams need to start winning if they have vague ambitions to take a top-two spot, which will be extremely difficult in any case. Cancelling each other out with a lack of attacking quality is likely. Lithuania 1-1 Northern Ireland.
