Faroe Islands vs Armenia: UEFA Nations League Preview
Armenia aims to shock Faroe Islands in UEFA Nations League
The UEFA Nations League continues on Thursday, June 8, with Faroe Islands hosting Armenia in Group 4 of League D. Both teams will be looking to pick up their first points of the campaign after losing their opening matches. Faroe Islands lost 3-2 to Liechtenstein, while Armenia was defeated 1-0 by Malta.
Faroe Islands will be hoping to take advantage of home advantage against an Armenia side that has struggled for form in recent months. Armenia has lost its last three matches, including a 9-0 friendly defeat to Norway.
However, Armenia will be confident of getting a result against Faroe Islands, who have won just one of their last six matches. Armenia also has a good record against Faroe Islands, having won three of their four previous meetings.
Team news
Faroe Islands will be without the suspended Sonni Nattestad, while Armenia will be missing the injured Artak Grigoryan.
