The UEFA Nations League is back in action with another set of matches this week as Turkey take on Lithuania on Tuesday. Both teams have a point to prove and will want to win this game.
Lithuania made a poor start to their Nations League campaign and will need to make a comeback in the coming weeks. The hosts suffered a damaging 2-0 defeat at the hands of Luxembourg in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.
Turkey, on the other hand, have kicked off their campaign in impressive fashion and will look to top their group this season. The Turkish outfit eased past Faroe Islands by a 4-0 margin last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
