Faroe Islands vs Latvia Prediction & Betting Tips (13 October)

Long considered a pain in the ass by other European nations in the 1990s and 2000s, the Faroe Islands have been able to raise their level in recent years to avoid systematically finishing last in their various qualifying groups. However, they are still far from the requirements required to participate in a World Cup or a Euro. In this Group C of the League of Nations , this selection from the small archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean began with a draw against North Macedonia 1-1 before losing to Latvia 1-0. On Thursday, she thought she had her first success against Armenia but she was caught in added time 2-2. In the standings, the Faroe Islands are last in their group with only one point behind their opponent of the day. Latvia, for its part, has its only major international experience with its participation in Euro 2004.

Since then, it has been very complicated for this Baltic team which is one of the worst selections on the Old Continent. Last in their group during the last qualifications for Euro 2024, the 11 Wolves defend their place in this League C where they started with a big defeat suffered in Armenia 4-1. Then, they were able to bounce back by dominating the Faroe Islands 1-0 before falling at home on Thursday evening against North Macedonia 0-3. The Latvians occupy 3rd place in this group with only one point ahead of their opponent of the day.

The group of this team from the Faroe Islands is logically very weak even if some players present went to try their luck outside the local borders like Andrias Edmundsson (Wisla Plock) and his big brother, the striker Jóan Símun Edmundsson (Shkupi, North Macedonia) who planted 8 times in 90 selections. On the other hand, he did not play Thursday evening unlike striker Klaemint Olsen who has 10 goals in 63 caps. Against Armenia, it was full-back Benjaminsen and substitute Bjartalio who scored their team's goals. Like midweek, defender Nattestad (48 sels, 3 goals), midfielders Mads Boe Mikelsen (1 goal in 10 sels) and Hendriksson (53 sels, 6 goals) and striker Patrik Johannesen (23 sels, 1 goal) will not be operational. Latvia, for its part, has experienced some developments compared to the group convened last month. Indeed, the goalkeeper Ozols (19 selections), the defender Isavjevs (7 selections) and the offensive Regza (no goals in 10 sel) are not available.

On the other hand, the two best scorers of this team are there. These are Ikaunieks (12 goals in 60 games) and Gutkovskis (11 goals in 47 games). The last city is located in South Korea. He is one of the rare members of this team to evolve beyond local borders.
