The Dance of the Underdogs
Key Stats
– Despite their underdog status, the Faroe Islands have managed to limit the goals conceded to a maximum of two in their last seven games.
– The Czech Republic have a strong attack record, with an average of 1.5 goals and 12 total shots per game.
The Czech Republic team, buoyed by their strong start in the European Championship qualifying Group E, faces the Faroe Islands in Torshavn this Saturday. The Czechs, after an unexpected draw against Moldova, are motivated to dodge another hiccup against one of Europe’s smaller football entities in their quest to cinch top spot before the heavyweight Poland.
The kick-off to the Euro 2024 qualification race saw the Czech Republic triumph over Poland with a stunning 3-1 victory at home. However, the spark seemed to dim when they met an unyielding Moldova team in Chisinau, where they failed to secure another win.

Jaroslav Silhavy’s team, despite the pressure stemming from a poor Nations League performance and missing the World Cup, remain at the front of the pack in Group E with four points from the first two matches. The Czech Republic’s football landscape have experienced a seismic shift since the disappointment of finishing their Nations League group with four consecutive defeats and a mere single goal to show for it. With their national pride and Silhavy’s position at stake, they now set their sights on the Euro 2024 finals.
The Dark Horse: Faroe Islands’ Efforts Against the Odds
The Faroe Islands, although sitting 87 ranks below the Czech Republic in the FIFA World Rankings, have shown some sparks of promise in recent times. Coach Hakan Ericson’s team managed a 1-1 draw against Moldova in their opening Euro 2024 qualifying match, where they conceded a last-minute penalty that cost them the win. Their resilience has seen them only lose three times in their last 12 matches, a feat highlighted by a memorable Nations League victory over Turkey.
Despite a decent run, the Faroe Islands will face a major challenge this weekend against the much stronger Czech team. Their record has typically been less impressive against higher-ranked opponents, raising doubts about their ability to cause an upset against the Czech side.
Czechs Motivated To Get Back To Winning Ways
Reviewing the teams’ performance data helps to see why we do expect the Czech Republic to win with a goal handicap. Czech’s attacking statistics illustrate a team that consistently creates scoring opportunities, averaging 1.5 goals and 12 total shots per game, and hitting the target at an impressive 50%. Their performance shows their capability to control the match, reflected in 52% ball possession, and that they have the resources to make quick counter-attacks when needed.
In contrast, the Faroe Islands’ attacking prowess appears much more limited, with just 1 goal from 4 total shots per game, only half of which are on target. Their possession stat is significantly lower at 40%, indicating their struggle to control the game.
Faroe Island’s defence also reveals a potential weakness, with an average of 1 goal conceded per game. Despite their commendable effort of 37 clearances per game, the pressure from the Czechs’ attack could prove too strong. On the other hand, the Czech Republic have maintained a cleaner slate with an average of just 0.5 goals conceded per game so far in this campaign, suggesting a solid defence ready to keep the Faroe Islands at bay.
Czech Republic Confortable Win Looks Like a Decent Bet
The analysis of the teams’ performances aligns well with the prediction of a 2-0 victory for the Czech Republic in the correct score market. Despite their underdog status, the Faroe Islands have put on commendable defensive displays in the past, not conceding more than two goals in their last seven games.
However, the Czech Republic’s attacking data paints a picture of a team ready to capitalise on any defensive lapses. With an average of 1.5 goals per game, it would not be surprising for them to score twice against the Faroe Islands, given the stark difference in the teams’ abilities and world rankings. The Faroe Islands, with their struggles in attack, might find it hard to breach the Czech defence, making a 2-0 scoreline a plausible prediction.
