Our prediction for this match:
Liechtenstein and Faroe Islands square off against each other in San Pedro de Alcantara in a warm-up game. Liechtenstein are on a dreadful 23-game losing run in all competitions and, no doubt, they are desperate to grab something from Friday’s friendly. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be York United striker Dennis Salanovic, who has netted four goals in 54 appearances for the Liechtenstein national team.
Hakan Ericson’s troops, on the other hand, did well to hold Albania to a goalless draw in their last EURO 2024 qualifying match, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the nominal visitors. The good news for the away team is that Fredericia goalkeeper Mattias Lamhauge has overcome his injury. In their last meeting in a friendly international Faroe Islands defeated Liechtenstein 1-0.
Highlighted Team (Faroe Islands):
Faroe Islands gained membership of FIFA on July 2, 1988 and they played their first official game on August 24 against Iceland. They were beaten by the Icelanders in Akranes, but two years later they recorded probably the most significant victory in the history of the national team as they defeated Austria 1-0 in Euro 1992 qualifiers.
Faroe Islands have yet to qualify for a major tournament, but they have been making progress year by year. The Landsliðið play their home games at Torsvollur and the capacity of the venue is 6.000. Faroe Islands recorded their biggest win against Gibraltar on March 1, 2014 (4-1) and they suffered their biggest defeat in 1996 when they were beaten 8-1 by Yugoslavia in front of home fans.
In the 2016 European Championship qualifiers Faroe Islands recorded a double victory over Greece, but the minnows eventually failed to book their place at the showpiece tournament in France. The likes of Frodi Benjaminsen, Oli Johannesen, Rogvi Jacobsen, Todi Jonsson and Jakup Mikkelsen are the most notable footballers who played for the Faroe Islands national team.
