Armenia
In the previous tournament match, Armenia suffered a 0-2 defeat to North Macedonia, losing their chance to win the group. However, the team retained second place in the group standings and, with a win in the upcoming match and a loss of points by Latvia, they will not drop further. With their last defeat, Armenia extended their winless streak in the Nations League to three matches (1 draw, 2 losses), conceding exactly two goals in each. In two of these matches, Armenia failed to score.
- The team has not won in 8 of their last 9 Nations League matches (1 draw, 7 losses).
- At least 3 goals were scored in 6 of Armenia's last 8 matches in this tournament.
- Armenia has not scored more than once in 5 of their last 6 home matches in the Nations League.
Faroe Islands
The Faroe Islands drew their last two Nations League matches against Armenia (2-2) and Latvia (1-1). However, even with two points, the team remains at the bottom of Group 4 in League C. The Faroe Islands are the only team in the group without a win (3 draws, 1 loss), sharing the same goal difference with Armenia (-1). The team has not kept a clean sheet in 12 consecutive Nations League matches.
- Both teams scored in 7 of the Faroe Islands' last 8 Nations League matches.
- The team has not lost in 7 of their last 8 matches in this tournament (2 wins, 5 draws).
- The team scored in 6 of their last 8 away matches in the Nations League.
Armenia vs. Faroe Islands: Match Prediction
Armenia has been disappointing in the current tournament edition. After a decent Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, the team is struggling in the Nations League against not particularly strong opponents and lost twice to their main competitors, North Macedonia, with identical 0-2 scores. They also failed to win against the upcoming opponent on the road, settling for a draw.
I am confident that Armenia will aim to please the home crowd with a victory and an exciting performance. The team has no reason to sit back defensively, as they are not strong in that area. Armenia has conceded in 9 consecutive Nations League matches, allowing at least two goals in 8 of them. The hosts will focus on attack and are unlikely to keep a clean sheet this time as well.
Moreover, the Faroe Islands regularly score, having found the net in 7 of their last 8 Nations League matches. My prediction: Faroe Islands individual total over 0.5 goals
