Faroe Islands vs Gibraltar - Match Preview
- Faroe Islands have won one of their last five matches, drawing their only home game in FIFA World Cup Qualification – UEFA Group L 2025.
- Gibraltar are without a win in their last two matches, and have yet to win away from home in the group, losing once.
Tight and tense game awaits in Faroe’s fixture
The Faroe Islands' pragmatic, defence-first approach should see them edge out Gibraltar in Monday’s FIFA World Cup Qualification - UEFA Group L 2025. This Faroe Islands vs Gibraltar prediction highlights how Klakstein’s side are heavy favorites, having won 1 and drawn 1 of their past five matches, and have drawn their only home game in Group L so far, and are likely to win Monday’s match.
Gibraltar have lost their two most recent games against Montenegro (A) and Czech Republic (H) by scores of 3-1 and 0-4 respectively, and have conceded three goals in their single away match so far in this campaign. Gibraltar are yet to notch their first away win in Group L, so it’s hard to make a case for them here.
Gibraltar unlikely to get the result
Faroe Islands' Eydun Klakstein has done a good job since taking charge in October 2024, making the islanders harder to play against and more solid at the back, but their current losing run of three games is a worry.
Our Faroe Islands vs Gibraltar preview shows Faroe Islands' approach is to stay compact, keep their shape and be resolute under pressure, relying on counterattacking and set-piece opportunities for their chances to score. Gibraltar will sit deep, absorb pressure, and look to hit on the counter, but have shown a lack of solidity in defence on the road, so the hosts are expected to edge this one.
Go with the underdog
Liam Walker is Gibraltar’s most effective player at present, having scored two of their most recent three international goals, but is likely to find the going tough on Monday.
Faroe’s best attacking outlet is Gunnar Vatnhamar, who is currently their top scorer with one goal in two appearances in this group. Adrian Justinussen has shown more of a creative spark in his two appearances so far, with one assist.
The Faroe Islands vs Gibraltar prediction also suggests that ‘Under 2.5 goals’ looks a solid option here, as the clash between Faroe’s rigid pragmatism and Gibraltar’s deep, reactive approach will likely be slow-paced and cagey, with no side willing to give much away. Additionally, our Faroe Islands vs Gibraltar betting tips indicate a low-scoring affair is on the cards.
