Needing a win to secure their spot in the UEFA Nations League promotion playoff, Faroe Islands visit the Toše Proeski Arena to face North Macedonia in the Group C4 finale on Sunday. Blagoja Milevski’s men have already sealed promotion into League B and will be looking to close out their campaign on a high.
North Macedonia continued to ride high in the Nations League as they secured a 1-0 victory over Latvia on Thursday courtesy of a second-half strike from Nikola Serafimov.
Milevski’s side have now won four games on the bounce in Group C4, scoring eight goals and keeping four clean sheets since kicking off the campaign with a 1-1 draw against Faroe Islands in September’s reverse fixture.
North Macedonia have clinched promotion into League B as they sit seven points clear at the top of the Group C4 standings heading into Sunday’s group finale.
Faroe Islands, meanwhile, picked up three huge points in their push for a second-placed finish as they secured a 1-0 victory over Armenia at the Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium on Thursday.
Before that, Eydun Klakstein’s men failed to win their first four Nations League games, claiming three draws and suffering a 1-0 defeat against Latvia in September.
Faroe Islands have picked up six points from five matches to sit second in the Group C3 standings, two points above third-placed Armenia with just one game to go.
