The Faroe Islands welcome Moldova to the Torsvollur in Torshavn on Monday 16 November, 3pm (UK time), with the hosts out to extend a remarkable run of draws as both sides close out their Nations League group.
Eydun Klakstein‘s Faroe Islands have drawn all five of their group games to sit unbeaten but still without a win, while Lilian Popescu‘s Moldova arrive on the back of a 2-1 home victory over Kazakhstan. We have run through the Faroe Islands vs Moldova odds for our best bets, two Premium Tips and a score prediction below, and the numbers point firmly towards another close, low-scoring affair.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects another tight contest after weighing up the Faroe Islands vs Moldova odds, with two picks that lean on the Faroes’ extraordinary knack for sharing the points.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Both teams to score – Yes | 11/10 (bet365) | Both teams have scored in every one of the Faroe Islands’ five group games, so the goals-at-both-ends angle has plenty going for it. The Faroes have found the net in each outing while also conceding in each, and Moldova arrive having scored twice in their last game against Kazakhstan. With both sides carrying a goal in them, 11/10 about both teams to score looks a value call against a market that has shaded towards ‘No’. |
| The draw | 5/2 (bet365) | The Faroe Islands have drawn all five of their group games, including the 1-1 meeting with Moldova in Chisinau in September, and they have proved desperately hard to beat on their own patch. Moldova sit just two points above them and have been inconsistent on the road, so another share of the spoils is very much on the cards. At 5/2, backing the stalemate makes appeal given just how often the Faroes keep ending up all square. |

How Faroe Islands go into the game
The Faroe Islands have been the surprise package of the group, drawing all five of their games to sit unbeaten but still searching for a first win. Eydun Klakstein’s side have picked up 1-1 draws with Kazakhstan, Moldova and group winners Slovakia, and followed up with 2-2 draws against Kazakhstan and Slovakia, holding the runaway leaders twice in the process.
What stands out is their consistency: they have scored in every single group game, but conceded in all of them too, hence a run of five draws from five. Adrian Justinussen, Aki Samuelsen and Petur Knudsen have all been among the goals, and on home soil in Torshavn, where they are notoriously difficult to beat, the Faroes will fancy their chances of another stubborn display.
How Moldova go into the game
Moldova go into the game under Lilian Popescu, sitting second in the group and arriving in better heart after a 2-1 home win over Kazakhstan last time out. Their campaign has been up and down, taking in a 1-1 draw with the Faroes and two wins over Kazakhstan, but also heavy defeats to Slovakia home and away.
Petru Popescu has been a bright spot in attack, having scored in the earlier 2-1 win over Kazakhstan in Astana, and Moldova will look to him again here. Away from home, though, Popescu’s side have blown hot and cold, and against a Faroes team that simply refuses to lose, they know another tight, physical contest awaits in Torshavn.
Faroe Islands vs Moldova head-to-head
There is little to separate these sides, who drew 1-1 in Chisinau in September, with Sergiu Perciun cancelling out Viljormur Davidsen‘s penalty. It was typical of a pair who have had little between them, and with the Faroe Islands drawing every game they have played in the group, we have gone with a short write-up here rather than a full head-to-head table.

Faroe Islands vs Moldova score prediction
This has the look of another tight, evenly matched contest between two sides who could not be separated in September. The Faroe Islands have made a habit of drawing games this campaign, and with both teams carrying just enough of a goal threat to trouble each other, we are expecting more of the same. Moldova will back themselves to nick it after beating Kazakhstan, but the Faroes’ refusal to lose on home soil points towards honours even in a 1-1 draw. Score prediction: Faroe Islands 1-1 Moldova.
