- Competition: World Cup 2026 Qualification
- Date: 25th March, 2025
- Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
- Venue: Stadion Kraj Bistrice
Montenegro will be looking to consolidate their status as Group L leaders in qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup against the Faroe Islands on Tuesday evening.
The home side kicked off their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign with a 3-1 win over Gibraltar at the Kraj Bistrice stadium. They will host the Faroese national team, who narrowly missed out on a draw against the Czech Republic on Thursday after equalising in the 83rd minute but were cancelled out by the Czechs a few minutes later with Patrik Schick's winning goal.
Montenegro - Faroe Islands Betting Tips: Montenegro to Win
Montenegro got their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign off to a solid start with a 3-1 win over Gibraltar, despite conceding first in the opening 15 minutes. The Faroe Islands are of a similar calibre and Montenegro are expected to dominate Tuesday's game in much the same fashion as they did against the Faroese.
In addition, the Faroe Islands have not performed at their best in away games. They have only won 2 out of a possible 15 away games in recent years, which can be explained by the fact that they do not have a home advantage in the form of artificial pitches and special climatic conditions. It will certainly not be easy to crack the Faroese defence, as the Czech Republic have already had the opportunity to experience their defensive stability, but Montenegro should have enough attacking talent with the likes of Stefan Jovetic to secure a win on Tuesday.
