Faroe Islands take on the visitors Albania in the round 4 match of UEFA Euro Qualification. The match will be played on Tuesday, June 20th at Tórsvøllur (Torshavn).
The Faroe Islands are not outsiders, but they are not far from being considered as such. The "Sheep Breeders" represent not a country but a remote region in the ocean that belongs to Denmark. Like many other similar teams, this national team hasn't shown much and is unlikely to do so (although Iceland's example will certainly be a reference for everyone). They managed to get promoted from the weakest division in the UEFA Nations League on their second attempt, winning their group and securing their place in League C. In the qualifiers, their maximum achievement so far has been surpassing other underdogs in the battle to avoid finishing last. In March, they managed to secure a 1-1 draw against Moldova. However, in the third round, when they faced a stronger Czech Republic at home, they lost 0-3.

Albania hopes to replicate its only significant success. The "Mountain Eagles" qualified for the European Championship under De Biasi's leadership. Moreover, back in 2016, the debutants even managed to win a match. They couldn't repeat that feat, but their previous qualification campaign was decent: 6 victories in 10 matches, although it was not enough to secure at least a second-place finish in their group. Nonetheless, they managed to maintain their position in League B of the UEFA Nations League, although not without difficulties. So, under the guidance of Silvino, the team entered the new qualification cycle with ambitions. In March, they managed to secure a minimal 1-0 victory at home against Poland. Then, on Saturday, they had a home match against Moldova and achieved an impressive 2-0 victory.
This will be the first direct confrontation in the history of these national teams. Bookmakers clearly indicate Albania as the favorite in this match. However, the Faroe Islands are playing at home, so we place our bet on the hosts with a "+1" handicap.
Prediction for the match: Faroe Islands to win with +1.0 handicap.
