Lithuania U21 vs Spain U21 Prediction

Spain U21 are heavy favorites to pick up all three points despite playing away from home. This is due to the gulf in class between the two sides and the experience of playing at the highest stage.

The visitors like to play on the front foot and Lithuania will try to limit the damage by playing compactly. However, the quality of Spain should shine through in a comfortable victory.

Prediction: Lithuania U21 0-4 Spain U21
