The Darius and Girėnas stadium will be the stage for a Euro 2024 qualifier between Lithuania and Bulgaria on Saturday.

In their last three matches, Lithuania started off with two straight defeats to Estonia and Serbia by a 2-0 scoreline. The hosts, though, did reclaim some pride in their most outing by holding Greece down to a 0-0 draw.
Bulgaria Form
A draw is all that prevents Bulgaria from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They first settled for a 0-0 draw against Luxembourg before getting trounced against Montenegro by a 0-1 score. Last time out, more disappointment followed as Hungary ran out 3-0 winners.
