Armenia vs Faroe Islands Predictions

Can Armenia Shore Up Their Defence to Secure a Vital Win Over Faroe Islands?

• Leaky Defence: Armenia’s defensive struggles are glaring, with no clean sheets in their last 25 games, indicating a long-standing issue at the back.
• Faroe Islands’ Scoring Consistency: Seven of the Faroe Islands’ last eight Nations League games have seen both teams score, showing they’re capable of troubling defences.
• Armenia’s Home Advantage: Armenia have won two of their last three home games, but they’ve typically conceded, adding to the pressure on their backline to hold firm.

Our Tips

Kazakhstan and Austria face off at the Almaty Central Stadium, in what might seem like a David versus Goliath encounter given the visitors’ recent exploits in the UEFA Nations League. For Kazakhstan, this is more than just a routine group game – it’s an attempt to redeem a campaign thatIn the penultimate round of the UEFA Nations League, Armenia host the Faroe Islands in a match that holds significant implications for both sides, albeit in very different ways.

The Armenians, still smarting from their recent 2-0 loss to North Macedonia, find themselves just a point above the visitors and on the brink of either securing their spot in League C or sliding perilously close to relegation. With North Macedonia sprinting ahead at the top of the group, Armenia are left to battle it out for a respectable finish and a possible promotion play-off spot. However, Armenia’s defence has been an Achilles’ heel, with a staggering 25 consecutive games without a clean sheet, something that could give the Faroese a glimmer of hope.

The Faroe Islands, on the other hand, have struggled throughout this Nations League cycle and are yet to secure a win. With a seven-game winless run hanging over them, Hakan Ericson’s side are hardly in ideal form. A repeat of the 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture would suit them, but defeat could mean relegation to the lower rungs of the Nations League structure if results elsewhere do not go their way. With both teams struggling defensively and Armenia’s offensive threat embodied by Lucas Zelarayán, a thrilling encounter could be on the cards.

Best Bet: Armenia to Win and Both Teams to Score

Given the porous defence on Armenia’s side and the Faroe Islands’ tendency to score in recent games, the best bet here is for Armenia to win, but with both teams finding the net. Armenia’s frail defence has been painfully apparent, with no clean sheets in their last 25 games, a streak that reveals not just lapses but a systemic issue at the back. Even as they’ve managed to win two of their last three home games, they’ve rarely done so without conceding, which hints that the Faroese could have opportunities to get on the scoreboard.

The Faroe Islands, despite their uninspiring form, have shown a knack for getting at least one goal. Seven of their last eight Nations League games have seen both teams score, and their spirited 2-2 draw against Armenia in the reverse fixture further reinforces the potential for goals on both sides. Additionally, Faroe Islands managed to take the lead twice in that previous meeting, showing that Armenia’s backline can be breached. Faroe Islands’ key figure, Jann Benjaminsen, has been known to score early, often giving his side a much-needed boost, which could complicate Armenia’s hopes of a straightforward win.

On the Armenian front, Zelarayán has emerged as a critical attacking threat, particularly in high-stakes matches. His equaliser in the last H2H clash indicates that he could be the player to turn the tide if the Faroese break through early. BettingTips4You.com expert John Pentin echoes this view: “Armenia’s shaky defence makes it likely they’ll concede, but their firepower at home should see them edge out the Faroese, even if it isn’t a clean sweep. Both teams scoring alongside an Armenia win is where the smart money lies.”

A look at the BettingTips4You Expert Rating also favours this outcome, as Armenia have shown they are more than capable of scoring, even if they lack defensive discipline. With the Faroese potentially eyeing a more open game as they seek an elusive first victory, this sets up an enticing prospect for Armenia to exploit gaps and secure a hard-fought win.

Correct Score Prediction: Armenia 2-1 Faroe Islands

The likeliest scoreline in this matchup, taking into account Armenia’s defensive frailties and the Faroe Islands’ ability to score, is a narrow 2-1 win for the hosts. Armenia’s offensive edge should allow them to find the net twice, especially given that they have generally fared better on home turf. However, with no clean sheets in sight and the Faroe Islands’ ability to capitalise on weak defences, it’s reasonable to anticipate that the visitors could snag a goal.

Faroe Islands’ resilience has often seen them avoid heavy defeats, with only one game in their last 19 matches seeing them concede more than twice. That resilience, combined with Armenia’s defensive struggles, suggests the Faroese can at least keep the scoreline competitive. With Zelarayán likely to lead the charge for Armenia and the visitors likely looking to frustrate their hosts by scoring at least once, 2-1 seems a fitting prediction.

Armenia’s home advantage and slight upper hand in quality should see them over the line, albeit without a dominant performance. For the Faroe Islands, this would be yet another disappointing result in a campaign where their performances haven’t yielded wins, even when they’ve managed to keep things close.
