Prediction:
2-0.
Faroe Islands and Malta take on each other at Torsvollur at the start of their UEFA Nations League campaign. Faroe Islands were not at their sharpest in the Euro 2020 qualifiers, with the team collecting only three points from possible 30. Malta recorded one win in the process as well, and it has to be noted that they are on a nine-game losing run ahead of the trip to Torshavn.
When the two teams met at Torsvollur in the Euro 2020 qualifiers Faroe Islands recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Malta, with Rogvi Baldvinsson scoring the only goal of the match. Considering that the visitors head into Thursday’s football match with the lack of confidence, we are tempted to put our money on Hakan Ericsson’s troops. A man to watch in the home team will be Joannes Bjartalid, who has netted 12 goals in the national championship to date.
