Sweden vs Faroe Islands Prediction & Betting tips
In the Friends Arena in Solna, Sweden hopes to be able to turn it into a party match on Monday evening, as the Scandinavians have been assured of participating in European Championships for several days. Opponent in this last group match in group F is the weak Faroe Islands.
Sweden:
Sweden is in a jubilant mood, because thanks to the handsome 0-2 victory over Romania last Friday evening in Bucharest, the Scandinavians are definitely assured of participating in next year’s European Championship. The self-confidence of Blågult, who managed to reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup last year, is therefore incredibly high. “I think we are in better shape than last year at the World Cup,” said Robin Quaison, the maker of the 0-2 against Romania. “I think we can surprise next summer and reach the semi-finals.”
Anyway, it is not nearly there yet. First, Sweden can close its European Championship qualifying series against Faroe Islands, which of course should be a sort of party match. Chances are that national coach Janne Andersson will rotate a bit. One of the players who can hope for a base place is Alexander Isak (Real Sociedad), who was treated very racist during his short raid in Bucharest. The former Willem II striker has good memories of the Faroe Islands, because more than two months ago he took the first two goals in Torshavn in the 0-4 victory of Sweden.
Faroe Islands:
Faroe Islands might be better off deciding to stay at home and thereby save on flight and hotel costs. The football dwarf won this European Championship qualifying series only once (Malta home: 2-1), but the remaining eight group duels were all without a chance. Also in and against Sweden there is probably little honor for the current number 110 of the FIFA world ranking. Last Friday evening the men of national coach Lars Olsen lost 4-0 to Norway.
The selection of the Faroe Islands is of course not to write home about. The majority of players are still active in their own country as semi-professionals, and a handful of players are under contract with small clubs from Iceland, Norway and Denmark. The absolute star player is attacker Joan Simun Edmundsson, who is in the starting line-up almost every week with the German second-division team Arminia Bielefeld.
