In the 6th round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in Europe on September 8, 2025, a match will be held between the national teams of Gibraltar and the Faroe Islands. For both underdogs, this is a rare opportunity to secure a victory in such a format.
Our Prediction for Gibraltar vs Faroe Islands
Gibraltar has obvious personnel limitations, representing a very small territory. As expected, this team seldom achieves success. Even in the Nations League, among the likes of San Marino and Liechtenstein, they finished second with six points from four matches. In 2025, they've only suffered defeats, with the only positives being the goals scored against Montenegro and, indeed, the Faroe Islands.
The islanders fulfilled their objective last autumn by finishing ahead of Latvia in the Nations League and taking third place in a group that also included North Macedonia and Armenia. This year, events have unfolded as expected for the Faroe Islands. After defeating their current opponent 2-1, the rest of their matches have ended in losses – to the Czech Republic and Montenegro in qualification, and to Georgia in a summer friendly.
Leading up to this round, Gibraltar hosted Albania. They put up a respectable fight in the friendly, conceding the only goal from a penalty in the middle of the second half. The current guests, the Faroe Islands, hosted one of the favorites, Croatia, and were beaten as expected – but only narrowly, 0-1.
