Belarus U21 take on the visitors Faroe Island U21 in UEFA Euro U21 qualification match. The match will be played on Thursday, September 7th at Armavir stadium (Armavir).
It seems that the Belarusians are not aiming to win in this qualification. This will be their fourth match, and all the previous ones ended in draws. Well, there's not much to commend in such results. A draw with the Greeks aresomewhat respectable, but drawing with the Faroe Islands and Andorra arenot quite the same... Football in Belarus seems to be deteriorating rapidly. The national team is turning into an ordinary statistician that hands out points to everyone. The youth team, which was once strong and actively participated in qualifications, is now also just a statistic. There doesn't seem to be much reason to consider the Belarusians as favorites in this upcoming match. The islands have been producing better results lately.

The Faroe Islands performed quite well in the previous qualification. It's evident that the results for this national team have been gradually improving. The national team is not as weak as it used to be, and even the youth team earned 10 points in the previous qualification, and they weren't playing against teams like San Marino. The weakest team in the group was probably Armenia. But the Faroe Islands even managed to secure a draw against the French, with a score of 1-1. Overall, the Faroe Islands had an excellent defensive performance in the previous qualification, conceding only 12 goals in 10 matches. As for the current qualification, they've only played one game so far, and it was against Belarus, ending in a 1-1 draw. Currently, the Faroe Islands are capable of earning more points.
Bookmakers are listing Belarus as significant favorites in this match, but there's considerable doubt about that. The islands have been looking quite strong lately, and it's entirely possible that they can secure points in this upcoming match. So, I'll stick with the betting option: X2. It's quite likely that Belarus will get their fourth consecutive draw.
Prediction for the match: Faroe Island U21 not to lose.
