Kazakhstan vs Faroe Islands preview: Visitors to hold their own
Kazakhstan's struggles continued with a 2-1 home defeat against Moldova on Friday. They have now lost back-to-back games and are without a win in five consecutive matches across all competitions.
As things stand, John van ‘t Schip's troops are at the bottom of the Group C3 table, having earned only one point from a possible nine.
Nothing short of a victory will do for Kazakhstan if they want to keep their promotion dream alive. On the positive side, there are no new injury concerns for the hosts ahead of this skirmish.
Despite being one of the group's underdogs, Faroe Islands have been nothing short of impressive, as they have held their own against all three opponents faced so far.
Interestingly, the visiting team's three outings in this competition have all ended with the same 1-1 scoreline.
A victory here could move Eydun Klakstein's side to second place, but that would depend on the outcome of Slovakia's clash with Moldova.
Like their opponents, Faroe Islands have a clean bill of health. They finished third in the third tier of this competition in their previous two campaigns and have never been promoted to either of the top two tiers.
Moreover, the visitors have a solid track record against Kazakhstan, with no defeats in the last three H2Hs (W1, D2).

Whispers Predicts: Kazakhstan 1-1 Faroe Islands
Priced at 7/5 (2.40), Kazakhstan are considered favourites by the bookies ahead of this skirmish.
However, the hosts have no wins in their last five matches, and considering that Faroe Islands' last three outings have all ended in stalemates, we are confident that the spoils will be shared after 90 minutes.
Both teams got on the scoresheet in each of Kazakhstan's last five games and this can be backed at 11/10 (2.10).
We also fancy a 1-1 correct score at 5/1 (6.00). This landed in the visiting team's last three fixtures and in the last two competitive H2Hs.
> Under 2.5 total goals at 3/5 (1.60) | Likelihood: Probable
> BTTS – Yes at 11/10 (2.10) | Likelihood: Probable
> Match result: Draw at 47/20 (3.35) | Likelihood: Possible
> Draw & BTTS – Yes at 4/1 (5.00) | Likelihood: Possible
> Correct Score: 1-1 at 5/1 (6.00) | Likelihood: Outsider
