Match preview
Since their Nations League win against San Marino, Gibraltar has struggled to secure a win. They have gone eight matches without a victory, managing just three draws against Moldova, Liechtenstein, and San Marino. So far in World Cup qualifying, they have lost all four matches, with a total score of 16:2.
Their playing style is very defensive, relying on a compact formation and set pieces, but they struggle to create chances in attack. It’s challenging to see them earning any points in this tournament.
The Faroe Islands are in a better position. In World Cup qualifying, they have gained three points from a win against Gibraltar (2-1). In other matches, they fought hard but lost to the Czech Republic (1-2), Montenegro (0-1), and Croatia (0-1).
This team emphasizes disciplined defense and physicality, opting for a counterattacking strategy when possible. They aim to make the most of the few chances they receive.
Probable line-ups
Gibraltar: Banda, Ronan, Lopes, Annesley, Britto, Bent, Walker, De Barr, Scanlon, Richards, El-Hmidi
Faroe Islands: Lamhauge, Færø, Vatnhamar, Edmundsson, Danielsen, Hendriksson, Andreasen, Davidsen, Frederiksberg, Sørensen, Olsen
