Faroe Islands vs Czech Republic - 17/06/2023
1504
The Czech Republic are top of Euro qualifying Group E with four points from six points on offer. The Czechs will visit the Faroe Islands on matchday No 3, as they seek to remain atop the group.
The Faroe Islands have a game in hand over the Czech Republic due to Group E having five teams. The Faroes picked up a point to start qualifying, drawing 1-1 with Moldova.
Group E looks wide open and any two of the five teams could potentially qualify for the 2024 European Championship.
The Faroe Islands and the Czech Republic are joined in Group E by Poland, Moldova, and Albania.
These teams played five times previously with the Czech Republic winning all five encounters.
The last meeting between the teams was in November 2022, as the Czech Republic blasted the Faroe Islands 5-0. The Faroes have never scored against the Czech Republic.
Jaroslav Šilhavý’s Czechs are unbeaten in back-to-back games ahead of matchday No 3. A 3-1 win over Poland in qualifying was followed by a nil-nil draw.
Those matches showcased the best and worst of the current Czech team.
The 3-1 win over Poland saw the Czech Republic rampant from the start, scoring in the first minute and leading 3-0 after 64 minutes.
The Faroe Islands won just one of their last six games. That win surprisingly came against Turkey, 2-1, in the Nations League.
The team failed to win its last two matches, losing 1-0 to North Macedonia and drawing 1-1 to Moldova.
There are not a lot of goals in this Faroe Islands team. Just five goals were scored by the Faroes in their last six matches. All five goals were scored by a different player.
A large portion of the Faroes’ players compete domestically playing semi-pro football. Seven players play outside of the Faroe Islands in fully professional football. Beveren forward Joan Simun Edmundsson is the team’s most capped player with 77.
West Ham’s Europa Conference League winners Vladimir Coufal and Tomas Soucek will be in the team for Šilhavý. The manager has a mixture of players competing domestically and with clubs from around Europe.
The Czechs can stay ahead of Poland in Group E with a win over the Faroe Islands.
Šilhavý’s team should obtain all three points away from home, defeating the Faroe Islands for a sixth time. It should be an easy-as-you-like win, with the Czechs coming away 2-0 winners.
