Recent form
Faroe Islands
The Faroe Islands' recent form has been challenging, with no wins in their last six matches. They've experienced a run of three consecutive losses from March to June 2024, including a heavy 4-1 defeat against Estonia in the Baltic Cup, which stands out as the highest-scoring game in this period. Their defensive record has been a concern, conceding 11 goals while only scoring 4, resulting in a -7 goal difference. However, they've shown some resilience in their most recent matches, securing draws against North Macedonia and Armenia in the UEFA Nations League. Despite the lack of wins, the team has managed to keep games relatively low-scoring, with 67% of their matches featuring under 2.5 goals. The Faroe Islands have struggled to keep clean sheets but have seen both teams score in half of their recent fixtures, indicating some offensive capability despite their overall difficulties.
Latvia
Latvia's recent form has been inconsistent, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches. Their defensive record is concerning, having conceded 10 goals in these games, with a high average of 1.67 goals conceded per match. However, they have managed two clean sheets during this period. The team's goal-scoring ability has been limited, netting only 4 goals in 6 games (0.67 per match). A notable high-scoring game was their 4-1 loss to Armenia in the UEFA Nations League. Interestingly, 67% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards lower-scoring encounters. Their most recent result, a 3-0 loss to North Macedonia, continues their struggle to find consistent form in competitive matches.

Recent home/away form
Faroe Islands
The Faroe Islands' recent home form shows signs of improvement after a challenging period. They are currently on a two-game unbeaten streak at home, securing draws against Armenia and North Macedonia in UEFA Nations League matches. This marks a positive shift following a concerning four-game losing streak in which they failed to score in three of those matches. Defensively, the team has struggled, conceding an average of 2 goals per game over their last six home fixtures. While there were no exceptionally high-scoring games, the 3-1 loss to Albania and 3-0 defeat to Czechia highlight their defensive vulnerabilities. Despite the recent draws, the Faroe Islands have yet to keep a clean sheet in their last six home games, indicating an area for improvement as they look to build on their recent more positive results.
Latvia
Latvia's recent away form has been particularly poor, with a concerning run of five consecutive defeats in their last six matches. Their sole positive result in this period was a 1-1 draw against Cyprus. The team has struggled defensively, conceding a whopping 18 goals in these six games, averaging 3 goals conceded per game. Three of these matches were high-scoring affairs, with Latvia conceding 4 or more goals: 4-1 against Armenia, 4-0 against Türkiye, and a 5-0 thrashing by Croatia. Their attacking output has been minimal, scoring only 3 goals in total, half of which came in a single game. Latvia has failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches, with 67% of the games featuring over 2.5 goals, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities on the road.
