The Faroe Islands have lost at home just once in three years: Faroe Islands vs Kazakhstan prediction
The first-round UEFA Nations League clash between the Faroe Islands and Kazakhstan in the 2026/27 season will take place on September 26 at Tórsvøllur Stadium. The hosts head into the tournament in good form and recently defeated Kazakhstan, while the visitors are beginning a new chapter under John van ’t Schip.
Faroe Islands: six wins in nine matches and a strong home record
Since September 2025, the Faroe Islands have won six of their nine matches, suffering just three defeats and keeping four clean sheets. Most importantly, the team has looked confident against opponents of a similar level and even managed to beat the Czech Republic 2-1 in World Cup qualifying.
Another major argument in their favor is their home record. The Faroe Islands have lost just one match on home soil since 2023, and last November they already defeated Kazakhstan 1-0. In attack, the main hopes are pinned on Áki Samuelsen, Jóannes Bjartalíð and Hanus Sørensen.
Kazakhstan: a new coach, but the same away problems
Kazakhstan began a new chapter after John van ’t Schip was appointed in August. In 2026, the team has already recorded two wins, drawn 1-1 with Armenia and lost 1-3 to Hungary, with that defeat becoming their first of the year.
Overall, Kazakhstan have lost just twice in eight matches over the past 12 months, but their away record remains a major weakness. Since October 2023, the team have managed only one win in 16 away games — a 2-0 victory over Liechtenstein.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- The Faroe Islands have won six of their nine matches since September 2025.
- The hosts have lost just one home match since 2023.
- Last November, the Faroe Islands defeated Kazakhstan 1-0.
The visitors may struggle away from home again: Faroe Islands vs Kazakhstan prediction
The Faroe Islands have long since ceased to be an easy opponent, especially at home. The team plays in an organized manner, makes good use of its chances and comes into this match with significantly more convincing results.
Kazakhstan are capable of putting up a fight and generally do not lose often, but their persistent away problems remain too significant a factor. Given the Faroe Islands’ recent victory over the same opponent, the hosts once again have a strong chance of taking all three points.
