They've demonstrated solid defensive capabilities, conceding only 0.67 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets. The team's attacking prowess is evident, scoring an average of 1.5 goals per match, with a notable 3-1 victory over Armenia in a friendly.

Faroe Islands

The Faroe Islands have experienced mixed fortunes in their recent away matches, with a notable improvement in their most recent outing. After enduring a concerning run of four consecutive defeats on the road, including a particularly heavy 4-1 loss to Estonia in the Baltic Cup, the Faroese side have shown signs of resilience by bookending this poor streak with two impressive victories. Their 4-0 triumph over Liechtenstein stands out as a high-scoring affair, demonstrating their attacking potential. Defensively, the team have struggled, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game, but they've managed to keep two clean sheets in their last six away matches. The low percentage of games where both teams scored (17%) suggests that when the Faroe Islands do well, they tend to dominate defensively. With 67% of their recent away games featuring under 2.5 goals, their matches tend to be low-scoring affairs, making their rare high-scoring outings all the more noteworthy.
