Portugal Faroe Islands betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This is a match between teams with a great difference of technical and tactical quality, and for that reason, Portugal must dominate the whole match and create more danger to the opponent. In this way, it’s expectable that Cristiano Ronaldo's team will opt for a more offensive playing style, especially in the first half, making a bet on goals in that time frame to be full of value.

Preview
Portugal and Faroe Islands face at Estádio do Bessa Século XXI, in a match for this stage of the WC Qualification Europe (1st Round). Faroe Islands registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Portugal

The home team is currently in the 2nd position, with 15 points won, after 5 wins and 1 loss. In the penultimate round, they have won a home match against Hungary by (3‑0). In the last round, they have won an away match against Latvia by (0‑3). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 27 goals scored and 11 conceded; against 8 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 40 goals scored and 8 conceded. They come to this match after a home win against Mexico by (2‑1), after extended time. Portugal has won 7, tied 1 and lost 2 of the last 10 home matches.

They have won the last 5 matches for this competition. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 5 of the last 6 matches for this competition. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 12 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 10 of those 12 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 9 of them. In the last 19 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

The Portuguese national team comes for this match after a 2-1 triumph against Mexico, winning the third position in the Confederations Cup. Now in their qualifying campaign for the World Cup, the Lusos are aiming to reach Switzerland at the top of Group B. In this home match, the coach Fernando Santos should keep the team in 4-4-2, benefiting from ball possession and the paused attacks: João Moutinho will be the great match organizer. Cristiano Ronaldo is the great scorer in this qualifying round with 11 scored goals. Out of the selected players were Raphael Guerreiro, Nani, Luís Neto and Nélson Semedo.

Confirmed Lineup: Rui Patrício, Eliseu, Cédric Soares, José Fonte, Pepe, William Carvalho, Bernardo Silva, João Moutinho, João Mário, Cristiano Ronaldo, André Silva.
Coach: F. Fernandes da Costa Santos.

Analysis Faroe Islands

The away team is currently in the 4th position, with 5 points won, after 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate round, they have tied an away match against Andorra by (0‑0). In the last round, they have lost a home match against Switzerland by (0‑2). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 1 draw and 10 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 2 wins, 2 draws and 11 losses at their stadium, with 9 goals scored and 33 conceded. In the last 7 away matches Faroe Islands has won 2, tied 1 and lost 4.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 4 matches. Their offense hasn’t been one of their best features, as they haven’t scored any goals in 5 of the last 6 matches for this competition. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 3 of the last 12 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in all of those 3 matches and have held on to the lead in 2. In 12 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

The Faroe Islands comes for this match after a defeat at home against Switzerland, by 0-2, adding the fourth match followed without proving the taste of victory. We remember that this national team already achieved a triumph in this stage, when they beat Latvia, away, by 0-2. In this away match, it’s expectable that the coach Lars Olsen will play in the usual 4-4-2, privileging the defensive organization and the direct balls for the attack, especially for the forwards Justinussen and Olsen. Note that the visiting team has great difficulty in maintaining the ball possession and defensive transition due to the slowness of their players. It seems that the Faroese team can count on his squad.

Confirmed Lineup: Gunnar Nielsen, Viljormur Davidsen, Atli Gregersen, Jónas Thór Naes, Odmar Faero, Rogvi Baldvinsson, Solvi Vatnhamar, Roaldur Jacobsen, Jóan Edmundsson, Rene Joensen, Gilli Sørensen.
Coach: H. Ericsson.
