Northern Ireland wrap up their World Cup qualifiers on TV this week with a pair of matches to round off their dismal campaign.

Ian Baraclough’s men boast just one victory from six matches in Group C with five points on the board and a nine-point gap separating them from the top two.

Northern Ireland are officially out of the race for a place at Qatar 2022, but Baraclough will be determined for his side to perform against minnows Lithuania.

They won 4-1 against the eastern European nation in September, but have only picked up one point in three matches since then.

Lithuania have lost six of their seven encounters so far with four goals scored and 18 conceded. They did manage to pick up a shock 3-1 win over Bulgaria during the last international break, but this was swiftly followed by a 4-0 demolition by Switzerland.

RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Northern Ireland v Lithuania on TV and online.

Our prediction: Northern Ireland v Lithuania

Don’t expect fireworks from this dead rubber clash between two sides going nowhere.

Northern Ireland fans will be hurting following such a poor campaign in a group that had several winnable games in it.

They should get the job done in a professional manner here, but again, don’t expect a full-throttle display from a team drawing their campaign to a quiet close.

Our prediction: Northern Ireland 1-0 Lithuania (9/2 at bet365).
