- Faroe Islands and Montenegro are tied on points in Group L of the World Cup 2026 qualifiers.
- The match takes place Thursday night at the Torsvollur Stadium in Torshavn.
- Faroe Islands are unbeaten in two of their last three games.
- Montenegro are winless in four competitive fixtures but remain dangerous on the counter.
The Faroe Islands have quietly turned a corner. After a slow start with losses to the Czech Republic and Montenegro earlier in the campaign, they’ve managed two wins in their last three matches. Their latest came against Gibraltar, with Martin Agnarsson netting his first international goal. It wasn’t flashy, but it showed grit something this team thrives on. Still, it’s worth remembering that their last home win against anyone other than Gibraltar dates back to 2022, when they shocked Turkey. Can they finally give their fans another reason to cheer?
Manager Håkan Ericson has built a squad fueled by domestic talent, plus a few gems from abroad. Petur Knudsen’s sharp form, 18 goal contributions in 16 games, gives them attacking flair, while midfielder Geza David Turi brings bite and energy. Yet, there’s always the question of consistency. Against better-ranked nations, the Faroe Islands often find themselves stretched thin. Even so, their home support and recent momentum make them a tough nut to crack.
Montenegro, on the other hand, are in a rough patch. Four matches without a win and two heavy defeats in September, that hurts confidence. The Brave Falcons opened their campaign brightly but have since faded. Stevan Jovetic, the team’s heartbeat, looks frustrated, and injuries haven’t helped either. Adam Marusic remains sidelined, removing one of their key outlets down the right flank. That said, this squad has experience, and on their day, they can grind out results, even away from home.
Still, it’s tricky. Montenegro’s last away win dates back to March 2024, and they’ve failed to score in their last two qualifiers. Coach Miodrag Radulovic will expect more urgency, especially from young midfielder Vasilije Adzic, who’s been one of the few bright sparks this year. It’s hard to say how this will end, the Faroe Islands are stubborn at home, but Montenegro have the stronger roster. For punters, it feels like one of those nights where quality might just edge spirit. Keep an eye on the World Cup Predictions section for updates as kickoff nears.
Montenegro have the edge in quality and experience, making them the logical pick to win in Torshavn. Despite their recent dip, they boast key players like Stevan Jovetic and Vasilije Adzic who can change a game with a moment of brilliance. The Faroe Islands, while spirited, often struggle against mid-tier European sides and haven’t beaten anyone stronger than Gibraltar since 2022. Defensively, Montenegro need tightening, but they’ve faced top opposition like Croatia and the Czech Republic recently, experience that builds resilience. The Faroes’ attack, though improved, still lacks cutting edge. Given Montenegro’s motivation to stay in contention for qualification and their ability to dominate possession against weaker teams, they should control this game. A narrow away win feels likely, especially if Jovetic gets decent service from midfield. Expect Montenegro to break their winless run here, though it might not come easily.
