Faroe Islands and Latvia return to action in the UEFA Nations League when they lock horns at the Torsvollur Stadium on Sunday. Paolo Nicolato’s men head into the weekend unbeaten in six straight games against the hosts and will be looking to extend this dominant run.
Faroe Islands were left disappointed in the UEFA Nations League on Thursday when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Armenia after conceding a 93rd-minute equalizer at the Torsvollur.
Hakan Ericson’s side have failed to win their opening three games in Group C4, picking up two draws and losing once while conceding four goals and scoring three.
While Faroe Islands will look to find their feet on Sunday, they are without a win in their last six competitive matches, excluding friendlies, losing four and claiming two draws since a 2-1 victory over Turkey in September 2022.
Elsewhere, Latvia were sent back down to earth in the Nations League on Thursday when they suffered a 3-0 thrashing against North Macedonia at the Skonto Stadium.
Before that, Nicolato’s men fell to a 4-1 loss against Armenia in their Group C4 opener on September 7, three days before claiming a 1-0 victory over Faroe Islands.
With three points from the first nine available, Latvia are currently third in the standings, one point above Sunday’s hosts and four adrift of first-placed North Macedonia.
