The hosts were promoted from Nations League D at the end of their 2020-21 campaign but finished third with eight points in their four-team group in 2022-23 and were five points from Turkey, who finished first and earned promotion to Nations League B.

Faroe Islands are unbeaten in their last four Nations League games, and in their most recent match in the competition in September 2022, they managed to beat Turkey 2-1.

However, boss Hakan Ericson will be concerned that his side have lost their last three games and have won just once in their last 16 matches.

This period of results included 12 defeats and just three draws, with Ericson's team failing to score on 11 occasions.

Faroe Islands' recent home record is also quite poor considering they have lost their last four games at Torsvollur, scoring just one goal while conceding nine times in those fixtures.

Their opponents North Macedonia finished third in the 2022-23 Nations League C group with seven points, nine less than group winners Georgia.

The away side go into Saturday's game having lost their last two Nations League matches, including a 1-0 defeat to Bulgaria on 26 September 2022, and their last three matches in all competitions.

North Macedonia are yet to win an international match in 2024 and have failed to win any of their last six matches, conceding 13 goals in the process.

Lions boss Blagoja Milevski has been in charge since August 2021 and has an overall record of 10 wins, eight draws and 13 defeats.

Milevski will be hoping that his side can overcome their away form, with North Macedonia having lost eight of their last nine away matches.

Faroe Islands possible starting lineup:

Reynatrod; Benjaminsen, Oregaard, Svensson, Davidsen; Radosavljevic, Joensen, Sorensen; Petersen, Olsen, Justinussen

North Macedonia possible starting lineup:

Dimitrievski; Zajkov, Velkovski, Musliu; Akovski, Alimi, Atanasov, Kostadinov, Alioski; Trajkovski, Elmas
