The hosts are the better team on paper, but Faroe Islands aren't too far behind Montenegro in quality, as they've also shown in the first round of these qualifiers where they nearly avoided a loss in Czechia.

Montenegro preview: Hoping for another home win
While Montenegro aren't among the favourites to secure a place at the World Cup, they have a good chance to start the qualifiers with a couple of wins. The favourable schedule had them hosting Gibraltar and Faroe Islands in back-to-back games and while they did struggle a bit to secure a win against Gibraltar, they did manage to get the points from that match.
Predicted lineup: Nikic (GK), Vesovic, Tuci, Sipcic, Gasevic, Jankovic, Loncar, Marusic, Jovetic, Krstovic & Mugosa

Faroe Islands preview: Hoping for a good performance
Even though Faroe Islands lost their first-round duel with Czech Republic, they did put up a good fight and nearly came away with a point, but a goal in the 85th minute was the blow they couldn't recover from. In any case, Faroe Islands won't be making the World Cup, but they are a team that could cause an upset or two and spoil the plans for someone else.
Jann Benjaminsen suffered an injury and was subbed off in the game against Czechia, so he's unlikely to play in this match.
Predicted lineup: Reynatrod (GK), Danielsen, Vatnhamar, Faero, Edmundsson, Davidsen, Frederiksberg, Hansson, Hendriksson, Sorensen & Knudsen

Player to watch: Stevan Jovetic
With our prediction of Jovetic to score in this game, it's clear that he's our player to watch as well. After all, Jovetic enters this match after finding the net in his team's previous match against Gibraltar.
Also, as Montenegro's captain, best scorer ever, and soon to be the player with the most appearances, Jovetic is the obvious choice as the player to watch against Faroe Islands.
