The Faroe Islands have never yet qualified for a major tournament, and embark on another unlikely campaign with a formidable trip to Germany.

Their manager, former Denmark captain and European championship winner Lars Olsen, will be hoping that, with the fixture coming so early in the domestic football calendar, he finds the home side not quite in top gear.

Germany’s shock exit to Italy in this summer’s European Championships has made many question whether this generation has what it takes to make the final step to winning major tournaments. In 2010, with a large number promoted from a successful under-21 side, they played without the pressure of expectation that now will be inescapable.

Joachim Low will be aware that only a victory by a cricket score will result in his side exceeding what’s expected this week, and should name an attacking side in a game that offers an ideal opportunity to experiment early in the campaign. The other added incentive, should one be needed, was a frustrating loss to Argentina last time out; a game in which they played all but the first twenty-five minutes with ten men after starting well and conceded first from a horrendous own goal sliced in by Sami Khedira. The Real Madrid man is 10/1 to get the first, at the right end, from midfield this time out, which is where the value may be if the Faroe Islands look to sit deep. Up front, Lukas Podolski capped a fantastic start with Arsenal with his first goal in England against Liverpool. He looks sharp enough to be adding to his already impressive international goals record if given a likely starting berth, and is 6/4 to get the first.

No chance of a shock here. Those who really like an outsider take a look at the HT/FT betting and have a punt on the Faroes making it to half-time unscaythed if the Germans start slowly. But there is no doubt about the final result. A correct score bet is should be the most entertaining market tonight, close your eyes and pick a number. I’m going with 4…
