There is little to choose between Hungary U21 and Lithuania U21 on paper, and the UEFA U21 Championship - Qualification encounter should reflect that balance. Results have been in short supply for the hosts, with LLDDD across their last five and a campaign win rate of 0% that makes for grim reading. Lithuania U21 have found wins elusive, DLLLD in their last five underscoring a win rate of 0%. One side has leaned on a miserly defence, the other on a free-scoring attack, and the meeting of those contrasting strengths promises an intriguing tactical subtext. The player had scored the equaliser away to Lyon before winning the penalty that secured the three points.

The signals point towards a stalemate, with the two sides closely matched across form and standings. A 1-1 draw is easy to envisage. Whatever the outcome, the UEFA U21 Championship - Qualification fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs. Premier League chief executive Richard Masters says a verdict on the alleged charges against Manchester City "has taken longer than expected".
