Faroe Islands vs Montenegro data preview

The two teams have only met once before, which was a contest on the second match day of the World Cup preliminaries. At that time, the Faroe Islands lost 0-1 away from home. Faroe Islands coach Clark Stein led the team to participate in that game, while Montenegro's new coach was former Serie A star Vucinic who had just taken over as coach. This game was the first show of his coaching career.

The two teams are in Group L of the European preliminaries. The Faroe Islands had 2 wins and 3 losses in the first 5 games, with both wins coming from the underdog Gibraltar. They overwhelmed their opponent Montenegro with a 4-goal difference and were temporarily ranked third in the group.

Montenegro has both won two games. It has lost the last three games in a row and scored 0 goals, which directly led to the dismissal of the coach.

The Faroe Islands have no important players absent, while Montenegro’s main fullback Marusic, main central defender Vujajic and main midfielder Ronchar have withdrawn due to injuries. Sportsmole predicts a 1-2 defeat for the Faroe Islands.
