Faroe Island preview: Hoping to secure promotion playoffs in this game
After their surprising win over Armenia in the last round, Faroe Islands are now second in the group with six points from five games, two points ahead of Armenia and Latvia. A win over North Macedonia would ensure Faroe Islands get a chance to battle for promotion through the playoffs, but depending on the result in the game between Latvia and Armenia, they could stay second with a draw or even a loss.
