Faroe Islands host Slovakia in League C Matchday 3 of the UEFA Nations League on Friday, 2 October 2026 at Tórsvøllur in Tórshavn, Streymoy, with the visitors sitting top of Group 3 following two straight victories.

Slovakia arrive with maximum six points

Slovakia lead League C - Group 3 after taking maximum points from their opening two matches. The group leaders opened their campaign on 26 September 2026 with a 2-0 win at home to Moldova, before securing a 2-1 victory over Kazakhstan three days later on 29 September 2026. Across those two fixtures, Slovakia scored four goals and conceded once, establishing a four-point advantage over second-placed Faroe Islands. Defender Dávid Hancko was called up for this series of fixtures as the visitors established control at the summit of the section.

Faroe Islands remain unbeaten after two 1-1 draws

Faroe Islands enter Matchday 3 second in the table with two points from two matches, having drawn both of their fixtures 1-1. The home side earned their first point at Tórsvøllur on 26 September 2026 against Kazakhstan, matching a single goal scored with one conceded. They followed that result with another 1-1 scoreline away at Moldova on 29 September 2026. While undefeated in the group phase, they sit four points behind their upcoming opponents and have collected one point from their solitary home outing in this competition.

Our model expects a Slovakia win

Our forecasting model expects a Slovakia win based on the contrasting returns from the opening rounds. The visitors bring an unblemished record into the tie with six points from six, outscoring opponents 4-1 across the first two fixtures. Faroe Islands have proved durable by claiming two draws from two matches, but Slovakia's ability to turn chances into victories across September gives them the advantage heading into Tórshavn.
