The European World Cup qualifier between Faroe Islands and Gibraltar takes place on Monday, 9 June 2025. Kick-off at the Tórsvøllur Stadium in Tórshavn is set for 20:45 CEST (Italy, Germany, France, Spain) and 19:45 BST (UK).
Both sides are searching for their first points in Group L. The Faroese will rely on home comfort, while Gibraltar aim to frustrate their hosts in a match that promises tight margins and defensive solidity.
How are both teams coming into this?
Faroe Islands have struggled so far, recording one win, one draw and three defeats in their last five outings across all competitions. In World Cup qualifying they’ve lost 1-0 to Montenegro and to date sit on zero points, having scored once and conceded three times in two matches.
Gibraltar arrive bottom of Group L, with no wins, three draws and two defeats in their last five games overall. Their last qualifier ended in a heavy 4-0 home loss to the Czech Republic, and they have managed just one goal while shipping seven in two group fixtures.
Our forecast
We back a narrow home victory for Faroe Islands. The hosts have shown more attacking impetus and will be buoyed by familiar surroundings. Expect a tight contest decided by a single goal.
Given both defences have kept opposition chances to a minimum, a low-scoring outcome seems likely. Our recommendation is a 1-0 win to the Faroe Islands, with both teams failing to register on the scoresheet.
