Match preview
Since their Nations League win over San Marino, Gibraltar seem to have forgotten how to win. The team has gone eight matches without a victory, managing only three draws—against Moldova, Liechtenstein, and again San Marino. Their World Cup qualifying campaign has gone as expected: four defeats in four rounds with a combined score of 16:2.
Their playing style is extremely cautious, with a compact defensive line and a heavy reliance on set pieces, but they barely create anything in attack. It would take a miracle for Gibraltar to pick up any points in this qualifying group.
The Faroe Islands’ situation is slightly better: in World Cup qualifying, they have managed to pick up three points, beating Gibraltar at home 2-1. In the other group matches, they fought hard but failed to earn points, suffering losses to the Czech Republic (1-2), Montenegro (0-1), and Croatia (0-1).
The team focuses on disciplined defending and physical play, while taking a pragmatic approach on the counterattack. The squad tries to capitalize on the few opportunities they get.
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
