The UEFA Euro Qualifier match between Faroe Islands and Moldova will take place at Torsvollur on Sunday at 9:30 pm IST.
In the ongoing Euro 2024 qualification, the two lowest-ranked teams in Group F will face each other on Sunday evening as the Faroe Islands host Moldova. The Faroe Islands suffered another defeat earlier this week, keeping them four points behind Moldova in the group standings. Meanwhile, Moldova extended their run of solid performances by securing a draw against Austria in a friendly match.
Sitting at the bottom of their European Championship qualifying group, the Faroe Islands have just one point from four matches, making it unlikely for them to debut in the major tournament in Germany next summer. Their recent 2-0 defeat to Poland in Warsaw, despite a resilient effort that held out for over an hour, ultimately succumbed to a Robert Lewandowski brace, leaving them empty-handed. Starting with a point away to Moldova, they followed with consecutive home losses to the Czech Republic and Albania, placing them at the bottom of the standings. This recent loss extends their winless streak to seven matches. Despite an upswing in the UEFA Nations League, with a win over Turkey last September, the Faroe Islands have recorded only one victory in their last 18 European qualifiers. Now, their focus is on avoiding a winless Group F campaign, and a victory against Moldova could help them avoid last place.
Currently in fourth place in the standings and with just one loss in the tournament so far, Moldova is heading to Torshavn with a surprising chance to secure a top-two finish, which would mark their first-ever appearance in senior-level finals. Serghei Clescenco’s team is only two points behind second-placed Albania, with Poland, who they recently defeated, sitting in between. Moldova’s last victory came during the June international period when they made an incredible comeback against Poland in Chisinau, overcoming a two-goal deficit with Ion Nicolaescu scoring twice and Vladislav Baboglo netting a late winner. Their confidence was further boosted by a 1-1 draw in Austria this week, and given their impressive performance against a team ranked 100 places above them in the FIFA World Rankings, Moldova may believe they have a good chance of securing a win in the Faroe Islands.
Faroe Islands probable starting lineup: Lamhauge, Danielsen, Faero, Ragnar, Davidsen, Joensen, Andreasen, S. Vatnhamar, Bjartalio, Edmundsson, Olsen
Moldova probable starting lineup: Railean, Craciun, Baboglo, Posmac, Revenco, Rata, Motpan, Reabciuk, Damascan, Postolachi, Nicolaescu
