Prediction Faroe Islands vs Kazakhstan 2025 – Betting Tips for the Friendly International on 18/11/2025

Match outlook: tight friendly under the Tórsvøllur lights

The Faroe Islands host Kazakhstan at Tórsvøllur in Tórshavn on 18 November 2025 in a friendly that promises to be more disciplined than flashy. Both teams arrive off recent international fixtures that suggest solidity rather than free-scoring tendencies: Faroe Islands suffered a 3-1 loss away to Croatia on 14 November but had impressed earlier with wins over Czech Republic and Montenegro, while Kazakhstan managed a stubborn 1-1 draw with Belgium on 15 November after several mixed results. With the compact venue and a modest 6,040 capacity, this one feels like a low-key, tightly contested affair rather than an open goal-fest.

Form and recent meetings

Recent form reads like a patchwork for both sides. The Faroes have four wins in their last ten but also six defeats, and their October/September sequence (including a 4-0 success over Montenegro) shows they can score when everything clicks. Kazakhstan’s string of results is similarly uneven — draws against Belgium and North Macedonia, a 4-0 win over Liechtenstein, but some heavy defeats earlier in the year. The only recorded head-to-head available dates back to 2013 when the sides drew 1-1 in WC Qualifying, hinting that neither side historically dominates the other.

Both teams showed standout individual contributions in their last matches: Géza Dávid Turi topped the ratings for the Faroes against Croatia, while Temirlan Anarbekov impressed for Kazakhstan in their draw with Belgium. Those performances underline that key moments from trusted performers could decide this friendly more than a tactical overhaul.

Statistical snapshot and how it matters

The raw numbers suggest a contest with limited attacking volume. Faroe’s recent match data shows an average of around four total shots and two on target in the sample provided, while Kazakhstan’s away stats indicate modest attacking numbers — an average of 1.67 shots and just two on target across their away appearances in the dataset. Kazakhstan’s away numbers include a clean sheet and a 1-1 draw, pointing to a capable defensive setup on their travels. With both sides exhibiting conservative shot and attack averages, the probability of a low-scoring scoreboard rises.

Prediction and betting tips

The matchup’s profile — low shot averages, recent draws and close results, and a small, calm venue — points to a game that will be competitive but not high-scoring. Expect both teams to probe carefully early on, with a greater chance that a single set-piece or moment decides the result.

Betting suggestion

Suggested market: Goal market — Under 2.5 goals.

Rationale: Limited attacking volume from both sides in the provided data, recent 1-1 draws and narrow scorelines, plus the conservative away statistics for Kazakhstan and a home side that often grinds out tight results, all favor under 2.5. Treat this as a measured play in a friendly where coaches often prioritize structure and fitness over open, end-to-end play. As always, stake responsibly.
