Montenegro
Montenegro opened their World Cup qualification campaign with a comeback victory against Gibraltar, overcoming an early setback to secure a 3-1 win. That result will give them confidence as they aim to establish themselves among the front-runners in Group L.
The Brave Falcons are now eyeing back-to-back home wins in World Cup qualifiers for the first time in nearly seven years. A victory here would keep them in a strong position ahead of the summer rounds and bring them closer to their dream of reaching a major international tournament. However, defensive issues remain a concern, as Montenegro have struggled to keep clean sheets under manager Robert Prosinečki, conceding in each of their last four competitive home games.
Faroe Islands
The Faroe Islands nearly caused an upset in their opening qualifier against the Czech Republic, equalising late before conceding an 85th-minute winner. While the performance was commendable, it extended their winless streak in World Cup qualification away matches to ten games, highlighting their struggles on the road.
Despite their underdog status, the Faroese have shown resilience in attack, scoring in six of their last ten WCQ away fixtures. However, their inability to maintain defensive solidity, particularly in the first half, has often left them chasing games. With five consecutive away losses in this competition, where they trailed at the break, they will need a near-perfect display to challenge Montenegro.
The Betting Verdict
Montenegro will be expected to control proceedings, and while they have shown defensive vulnerabilities, they should have enough quality to secure the three points. The Faroe Islands might put up a fight, but their struggles in away qualifiers suggest another tough outing awaits them.
