Match Preview
The Faroe Islands have had a decent qualifying campaign, earning nine points from six matches with three wins and three losses. Their defeats include a close match against the Czech Republic (1-2), a last-minute loss to Montenegro, and a narrow defeat to Croatia (0-1). The team is putting up a strong fight, despite being seen as underdogs.
They secured victories against Gibraltar (2-1 and 1-0) and impressively defeated Montenegro at home with a score of 4-0. Under coach Gokan Eriksson, the team created numerous chances while effectively defending against Montenegro. Some cite the artificial home pitch as a factor, but the team’s hard work is also noteworthy.
The Czech Republic ranks second in the group with 13 points from six matches, tied with Croatia but holding a game in hand and a better goal difference. They have been successful against lower-ranked teams, winning all their matches against them, including two against Montenegro (2-0), Gibraltar (4-0), and their earlier encounter with the Faroe Islands (2-1). However, they struggled against Croatia, losing 5-1 in their first meeting and managing only a 0-0 draw at home on October 9, despite having some good chances.
