Edgaras Jankauskas's coached Lithuania national team faces perhaps the most serious challenge in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers tonight - a match against the Slovakia national team. The Slovaks started the qualifiers very unsuccessfully - they were narrowly defeated by both England and Slovenia. However, in the last game, they won 3-0 against Scotland and gained confidence before the match against the Lithuanians. One of the most discussed topics is Marek Hamsik's performance in the Slovakian national team. The 29-year-old captain of Napoli is probably the most dangerous player in the national team. M. Hamsik plays as a central midfielder, but he likes to attack and can do so effectively. The Lithuanian national team's defenders and midfielders will need to pay special attention to this Slovak. M. Hamsik is not a striker or a winger who constantly tries to play on the edge, but he is especially dangerous when playing the "wall" or making long shots. Ernestas Setkus will have to stay alert throughout the match, as this Slovak is known for unexpected and long-range shots. Throughout his career, the midfielder has scored several impressive goals.
