Faroe Islands hosts Latvia in round 3 of the UEFA Nations League D. The match will be played on Saturday, October 10th at Tórsvøllur (Torshavn)
The Faroese managed to win their first two games in the Nations League a month ago, but in general, their game was not much stronger than that of their opponents. Ericson's men were losing to Malta until the 89th minute of the home match, but they miraculously managed to gain a comeback victory (3:2). As for the meeting in Andorra, the Faroese stood up to the opponent and won with a 0-1 score. Nevertheless, the hosts have obvious problems in defense, which plays into the hands of the Latvians, who know how to counterattack but are weak in positional attack.

Kazakevics' men looked good in a friendly match with Montenegro, having missed the victory at the end (1-1). However, the Latvians could not put the squeeze on Andorrans and didn’t convert a penalty a month ago (0-0). The match in Malta was already more fun, but it ended in a 1-1 draw. The Faroese are suitable opponents for the Latvians. The visitors will play counterattacking football, but the opponent's attack is also dangerous. In general, the national teams are similar in level. They cannot boast of reliable defense, so the match can become wide-open, as often happens in the Faroe Islands.
The last time the teams crossed their paths was not so long ago, namely in 2018. Then there was a 1-1 draw in a friendly match held in the Faroe Islands. I expect something similar from them now. The hosts attack better than defend, while Latvians like to play counterattacking football. And if they manage to score against Montenegrins, the islanders’ defense is not stronger for sure. As a result, we are likely to see interesting football and exchange of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
