The UEFA Euro Qualifiers match between Czech Republic and Faroe Islands will take place at Doosan Arena on Sunday at 9:30 pm IST.
After a dismal display against Albania, the Czech Republic is eager to make amends as they return to their home ground, the Doosan Arena in Plzen, to face the struggling Faroe Islands on Sunday. In their previous match, Jaroslav Silhavy’s team suffered a 3-0 defeat to the current leaders of Euro 2024 qualifying Group E, Albania. Meanwhile, Poland had an easy victory against the Faroe Islands, who are their next opponents.
The Czech Republic experienced a nightmarish evening, ending their six-game unbeaten streak in all competitions with a crushing defeat by Albania, their most significant loss in almost a year. Jasir Asani initiated the onslaught early, while Taulant Seferi scored twice in the second half. Furthermore, Mojmir Chytil was red-carded for two yellow card offenses. The Czechs have consistently qualified for the European Championship Finals since 1996, but with three games remaining, their record is under threat. They sit third in the standings with eight points, just one behind second-placed Poland, although Poland has played an extra match. Despite Albania’s attacking prowess, the Czechs’ home record is strong, with only one loss in their last 11 home matches.
While the Czech Republic boasts an impressive history of major tournament participation, the Faroe Islands are still waiting for their breakthrough on the World Cup and Euros stage. Their slim hopes of advancing in Group E were dashed by Poland’s 2-0 win, pushing them to the bottom of the group. The Faroe Islands have just one point from their first six matches, primarily due to an initial draw with Moldova. They now face a challenging road to the playoffs, having suffered five consecutive defeats. Their most significant loss was 3-0 to the Czech Republic in June, part of a six-game losing streak against the Czechs, during which they failed to score.
Czech Republic probable starting lineup: Pavlenka, Krejci, Brabek, Vitik, Coufal, Soucek, Lingr, Provod, Cerny, Cvancara, Hlozek
Faroe Islands probable starting lineup: Lamhauge, Danielsen, Faero, Nattestad, Davidsen, Vatnhamar, Bjartalid, Hendriksson, Radosavljevic, Johansen, Olsen
