Gibraltar vs Faroe Islands prediction: EUROPE: World Championship – Qualification betting tips on match 2025-09-07 18:45.
[p]With just one win from four attempts so far during 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying (WCQ), the Faroe Islands will look to restore some pride when they travel to Gibraltar. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Lowly Gibraltar were so close to their first-ever win in WCQ at the 24th attempt in the reverse fixture against the Faroe Islands, but two late goals condemned them to yet another failure. Gibraltar have long since abandoned any realistic hopes of advancing, but this match represents their best chance to earn their first-ever point in WCQ (L24). Their current run of five consecutive defeats with 17 goals conceded – including their recent friendly match against Albania (L 1-0) – means their fans will head to Europa Point Stadium more in hope than expectation.[/p]
[p]Qualification for the 2026 World Cup continues to be a heartbreaking affair for the Faroe Islands, who lost to the Czech Republic and Montenegro by conceding in the final minutes, whilst they bravely went down 1-0 to group favorites Croatia last time out. That has already almost sunk their hopes of directly reaching their first-ever major tournament as their only victory came against Gibraltar (2-1). They are warm favorites in this match, but considering that they have won only one of their last ten away competitive matches (D1, L8) and failed to score in seven of them, this might not end up being straightforward.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This will be the fifth historical meeting between these two sides, with Gibraltar only winning the first one in 2011 (D1, L2). The only competitive fixture was won by the Faroe Islands earlier in this WCQ campaign.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Gibraltar have conceded 3+ goals in 17 of their last 18 WCQ matches.[/p]
[p]Gibraltar have lost eight of their last nine home WCQ matches by at least a three-goal margin.[/p]
[p]There was exactly one goal scored before the break in six of the Faroe Islandsâ last eight matches.[/p]
[p]Only two of the Faroe Islandsâ last ten competitive away games saw both teams score.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Gibraltarâs Tjay De Barr has been in fine form this summer, contributing to six goals (G4, A2) in European competition qualifiers for his club side, while none of his last six goals arrived before the 35th minute. The Faroe Islands will hope Ărni Frederiksberg scores again here, as each of his last 20 goals for club and country came in victories, including the reverse fixture.[/p]
[p]Both teams seemingly came into this international window with near full-strength squads.[/p]
