Malta had already defeated Lithuania 2-1 last June in Šiauliai and therefore the positive result obtained last Friday should boost the morale of the locals ahead of this game as the team aims to move third.
Yessous Camilleri and Miguel Ciantar are both suspended as they serve a one-match ban. However Matthew Gauci will be back after missing the last game through suspension. Sheldon Grech was also drafted in the squad.
