On Friday night, the Faroe Islands host Spain in Group F of qualifying for Euro 2020 in the pairs first-ever meeting.
The Faroe Islands head into this difficult clash on the back of a seven-game winless run, including five defeats. The home side has lost their first two qualifiers against Malta and last time out 4-1 against Romania.
Unsurprising, considering their recent football history the Islanders sit bottom of the group. The most they can really hope for from the group games is that their performances improve and they pick-up some positive results.
The Faroe Islands recent record in European Championship qualification is poor, as they have lost 13 of their last 15 qualifiers, including their last six. One of their biggest problems of late has been conceding too many goals, as they have conceded at least two goals in five of their last six qualifiers.
Their home record in European Championship qualifying does not make for pleasant reading either, as the home side has suffered defeat in five of their last six outings.
Spain are the favourites to win the group and have opened their campaign with back-to-back wins over Malta and Norway. La Roja have now won their last three international matches and six of their last eight games.
The visitors have won their last ten European Championship qualifiers. In fact, they have won 23 of their last 24 games in qualifiers for the European Championships. Spain have built that recent good record in qualifiers on a solid defensive record, as they have kept clean sheets in nine of their last ten games.
La Roja have also won ten of their last 11 matches in qualifying for the European Championships, including their last five, in which they have claimed clean sheets.
Unsurprising considering the gulf in class between these two teams, Forebet predicts this clash will finish in a high-scoring win for Spain.
