Moldova vs Faroe Islands Lineups, Team News, and Preview
Moldova
There isn't much to recognize for Moldova as far as their football history is concerned. They never participated in one of the premier competitions in the world of football, and there is only a fraction of a chance they could earn their ticket to Germany this time around. There are no injury updates for Moldova.
Possible lineup: Celeadnic, Baboglo, Posmac, Platica, Revenco, Rata, Caimacov, Cojocari, Stina, Damascan, Nicolaescu.
Faroe Islands
The Faroes are an even smaller country, and by a large margin, in contrast to Moldova. They have never been close to playing in a European championship, and for this team, it's all about enjoying the opportunity and gaining some additional experience. That, however, doesn't mean they can't be dangerous. They have been improving over the years and could find themselves in a positive outcome against Moldova. Coach Hakan Ericson should have a full squad at his disposal.
Possible lineup: Gestsson, Davidsen, Rolantsson, Faero, Vatnsdal, Vatnhamar, Baldvinsson, Joensen, M. Olsen, Johannesen, K. Olsen.
Starting Lineups

Faroe Islands
Player to Watch: Ion Nicolaescu
Moldova's best player is close to becoming his country's best-ever goal scorer. He is at nine goals in his young career, and he needs three more to surpass Serghei Clescenco who is currently Moldova's national team coach. Nicolaescu is playing for Israel's Beitar Jerusalem scoring 14 goals in 20 appearances this season with four assists on the record as well.
