Gibraltar vs. Faroe Islands: Match Prediction

In the previous encounter between these opponents, Gibraltar took the lead, but Eidur Klakstein's side managed to turn the game around and secured a rare victory in World Cup qualifiers. However, it should be noted that the Faroese were overwhelmingly dominant. Nevertheless, all streaks end eventually, and perhaps Gibraltar will earn their points now. The Faroe Islands have not won away in World Cup qualifiers for 11 matches (2 draws, 9 losses). Still, the visitors are rightly considered favorites.

The Faroese have shown decent scoring ability for their level on foreign soil. The team has scored in 5 of their last 7 away World Cup qualifiers, even against strong opponents. Gibraltar, who rarely concedes fewer than three goals, is unlikely to contain such an attack. However, the hosts could also score. The Faroe Islands have shown weakness in defense as well.

My prediction: "Faroe Islands will not lose and Total over 1.5 goals"
