Faroe Islands vs Northern Ireland Predictions

 

Northern Ireland are sitting in second place in Group F with four wins from their six matches so far. They began with three straight victories before falling 2-1 to Romania in their fourth match. Since then the Irish have managed a 2-1 victory over Finland and a 0-0 draw against the seventh best International team in the world, Romania.

 

With Romania and third place Hungary also meeting tonight, a win for the Irish against the Faroes will see them gaining points on at least one of the nearest rivals.

 

However, O’Neill is sweating on the fitness of Chris Brunt and captain Steven Davis who both missed training on Tuesday. The Northern Ireland boss indicated that he hopes both will be able to play some part in the match, but may not be able to last the full 90 minutes.

 

Furthermore, Norwich striker Kyle Lafferty has only just returned to training with his club side and O’Neill admits that his top scorer in qualifying may not yet be back to full match fitness.

 

The Faroe Islands were expected to be the whipping boys of the group, but a home and away victory over an extremely poor Greece side sees the minnows sitting in fourth place with six points from their six games.

 

Defensively, the Faroe Islands have improved a lot recently and are not conceding the cricket scores they once did. Despite losing four from six, each of these losses have been narrow and extremely tightly contested affairs.

 

With the need for three points paramount to Northern Ireland’s chances of gaining their first ever qualification to the European Championships, a victory over the Faroe Islands looks a much tougher ask than it does on paper.

 

However, I think the Irish will have just enough quality to see off their much-improved opponents.

 

My first football betting tip is for Northern Ireland to win. The best odds can be found with William Hill at 4/5.

I cannot see this game being decided by more than a single goal. Also, given the Faroe Islands improvement in defence, as well as the real lack of quality in both team’s striking departments, I feel that poor finishing will be the order of the day.

 

My second Faroe Islands v Northern Ireland prediction is for there to be under 1.5 goals. The best odds can be found with Paddy Power at 19/10.

Given that I expect Michael O’Neill’s men to win in a very tight match, my third Euro 2016 prediction for Faroe Islands vs Northern Ireland is for the match to finish 1-0 in favour of Northern Ireland. The best odds can be found with 888sport at odds of 23/5.
