Moldova vs Faroe Islands

Moldova enters this fixture following a period of difficulty, having drawn their two most recent matches against Bulgaria and Armenia in June. Over their listed matches, Ion Nicolaescu has contributed a goal while Danila Forov has provided an assist. Their defensive work has been tested, with the side conceding significantly more shots than they have created. In contrast, Faroe Islands have secured four wins in their last six outings, including a victory over Latvia in their most recent match. Hanus Sørensen has been their primary attacking threat with three goals, while Árni Frederiksberg has added a goal and two assists. Defensively, Faroe Islands have kept two clean sheets and generally shown more efficiency in front of goal.

The history between these two sides is limited, with Moldova holding the edge in their previous two meetings. Moldova secured a win in the most recent encounter, while the earlier match ended in a draw.

• Faroe Islands have recorded four wins across their recent matches compared to none for Moldova.
• Moldova has conceded heavily in recent play, allowing significantly more shots per match than their opponents.
• Hanus Sørensen has been an effective attacking outlet for Faroe Islands with three goals over the listed matches.
