Mladen Krstajic’s men are on a seven-game winless run, losing four, since a 2-0 friendly victory over Cyprus in November 2022. Bulgaria now return home, where they have won one of their last six games across competitions, losing three.
Meanwhile, Lithuania failed to stop the rot last time out, as they suffered a 3-1 defeat to Serbia. Edgaras Jankauskas’s men have gone 15 games without defeat since a 2-1 win over San Marino on March 2022.
With two points from five games, Lithuania are rooted to the bottom of Group G, level on points with Bulgaria but behind on goal difference.
