Faroe Islands vs Slovakia — Tips & Analysis

Faroe Islands +1: Slovakia away from home are nothing like Slovakia at home, and that is the whole case here. They have lost six of their last seven on the road, where they score under a goal a game and let in 2. Both group wins, 2-0 over Moldova and 2-1 over Kazakhstan, came in Kosice. The Faroe Islands have turned Torsvollur into a horrible trip. They have won 3 and tied 2 of their last 6 at home, letting in under a goal a game. They have also beaten Czechia 2-1 and Montenegro 4-0 on that pitch. Most important for us, the Faroes rarely get run over. They have lost by 2 or more goals in just 1 of their last 15 games. This will be compact, physical and short on chances. Faroe games produce 2 goals in total on average. Both teams played three days ago and the Faroes had to fly back from Moldova, so nobody will be racing around. A 1-1 tie looks the likeliest result, and the Faroes have already tied 1-1 with both Moldova and Kazakhstan in this group. The danger is clear enough. Slovakia lead the group by 4 points and are far better on paper, so a 2-0 or 3-0 is well within them. We think the Faroes stay in this one.
