Faroe Islands have punched above their weight in their opening two matches, drawing against both Kazakhstan and Moldova.

The pair of 1-1 draws means Faroe Islands are undefeated in three successive competitive games, and have lost only two of their last 10.

Eydun Klakstein’s side take it up a notch on home turf, now unbeaten in four consecutive outings, with their only defeat here coming to Croatia in September 2025.

Faroe Islands are without any real injuries or suspension worries, and the same can be said about Slovakia.

The Falcons opened their Nations League account with a 2-0 win over Moldova, before dispatching Kazakhstan 2-1 recently.

With six points already in their coffers, Slovakia are favourite to qualify as group leaders for the promotion playoffs.

Vladimir Weiss can now see his side open up a seven-point lead over Faroe Islands with another victory, although their away form is a cause for concern with only one win in seven away from home.
