Scotland v Lithuania betting tips - Scots can sneak victory at Hampden Visit Bet365 Save For Later Posted by Neil Roarty 3 Sep 2011 Tweet Scotland were left disappointed at Hampden on Saturday Related Articles See all Euro 2012 newsScotland v Lithuania Special Offer at BetfredEuro 2012 qualifying matches live - Tuesday 6 September Share it Pin It Scotland need to beat Lithuania on Tuesday if they are to keep alive their slim hopes of qualifying for Euro 2012.Scotland's heart-breaking draw with the Czech Republic was as depressing as it was predictable and while the late penalty decision may have been harsh, the result was no more than the visitors deserved, after dominating at Hampden. Michal Bilek's side out-passed and out-played their hosts on Saturday and it was only due to the tireless running of Kenny Miller, and some last ditch defending, the Scotland even had a chance of picking up all three points.The fact that they didn't means that Craig Levein's side are currently dangerously close to elimination from Euro 2012 qualifying. They are now five points behind the Czechs and are reliant on their rivals dropping points to both Spain and Lithuania. That is not wholly implausible but Scotland must also take at least six points from their matches against Liechtenstein, Spain and Lithuania. Their quest begins when they face the latter on Tuesday evening in Glasgow.Scotland should beat Lithuania but odds of 3/5 (SportingBet) that they do are hardly worth considering. The hosts may hold a 100% record against the former Soviet state at Hampden but the basic errors made on Friday mean that they can't be confidently backed to beat any side at the moment. Under Levein's management the Scots have won just one competitive match and that was an uninspiring 2-1 win over minnows Liechtenstein, which was only secured via a 97th minute goal from Stephen McManus.Lithuania held the Scots to a 0-0 draw in Vilnius and beat the Czech Republic 1-0 in Prague, so they are no pushovers. Their Euro 2012 qualifying campaign has been undermined by a draw and a loss to Liechtenstein, with Friday's 0-0 draw a particularly disappointing result. Raimondas Zutautas's side's big problem is that they can't score goals. They have netted just three times in six Euro 2012 qualifiers and they are unlikely to be troubling the Scotland defence much on Tuesday. That is, perhaps, a good thing as the hosts look very vulnerable, and somewhat chaotic, when defending. That would leave Scotland needing just one goal to win at Hampden and they should be able to get it, most likely from a set-piece. It is 11/2, at Unibet, that Levein's side win 1-0 and that could be a price worth taking, in a game which could be fairly dull for neutrals.RecommendationCorrect Score - Scotland 1 Lithuania 0 (11/2, Unibet) Read our Bet365 review Get your £200 free bet at bet365 now Like Like Post to wall 303 Reads All Football News Recent Football Articles Euro 2012 Latest Schedule and Fixtures List25 May 2012A guide detailing all the important dates for Euro 2012 England Euro 2012 betting: Jack Butland 25/1 to play after John Ruddy withdrawal25 May 2012Rookie goalkeeper Jack Butland has been called up to the England squad for Euro 2012 after John Rud Republic of Ireland Euro 2012 squad - James McClean tipped to start21 May 2012Sunderland winger James McClean could start the Republic of Ireland’s first Euro 2012 match against Carles Puyol doubtful for Euro 201208 May 2012Barcelona captain Carles Puyol could miss Euro 2012 after his club announced he requires knee surge Dutch name provisional squad for Euro 201207 May 2012Premier League goalkeepers Tim Krul and Michel Vorm have been named in the provisional 35-man Nethe Republic of Ireland squad named for Euro 201207 May 2012Wigan midfielder James McCarthy has been omitted from the Republic of Ireland squad for Euro 2012 a More Stories Recent Articles WTA Strasbourg Final live - Francesca Schiavone and Alize Cornet25 May 2012Francesca Schiavone and Alize Cornet are scheduled to meet on Saturday for an eagerly anticipated Eurovision Song Contest 2012 Guide - Spain25 May 2012Spain have the best draw and a powerful performer but they face an uphill struggle to win Eurovisio Eurovision Song Contest 2012 Guide - Germany25 May 2012Germany's entry is one of the most professional of Eurovision 2012 but it Roman Lob's song Standing Irish 2000 Guineas Betting Tips - Who'll Win the Irish 2000 Guineas?25 May 2012Trainer Aidan O'Brien is responsible for four of the 11 colts that will go to post for Saturday's I Norway v England First Goalscorer Cashback at Boylesports25 May 2012Boylesports are continuing their popular First Goalscorer cashback promotion on Saturday's internat League One Play-off Final First Goalscorer Cashback at Boylesports25 May 2012Boylesports are continuing their popular First Goalscorer cashback promotion on Saturday's League O More Stories Tags Craig Levein, Czech Republic, Euro 2012, Kenny Miller, Lithuania, Scotland, Unibet
