Kazakhstan vs Faroe Islands Preview: Can Kazakhstan Finally Beat the Faroes in Astana?

Kazakhstan have played the Faroe Islands twice in the past year and have not won either game. A 1-0 loss in a friendly last November was followed by a 1-1 draw in Tórshavn on 26 September, and tonight they get another chance to turn the record around on home soil. Kazakhstan vs Faroe Islands is a Group 3 fixture in UEFA Nations League C, and it is the return leg of the clash that opened their campaigns. Below you'll find the kick-off details, form, history and our prediction, plus the Kazakhstan vs Faroe Islands match page on score808 if you want to follow the game online.

The Group: Slovakia, Kazakhstan, Moldova and the Faroe Islands

Group 3 is a four-team race, and every point counts. Kazakhstan opened away to the Faroe Islands on 26 September, travelled to Slovakia on 29 September and hosted Moldova on 2 October, so check the live table for how that run went. After today, they visit Moldova on 13 November and finish at home to Slovakia on 16 November. The Faroe Islands, meanwhile, visited Moldova on 29 September and hosted Slovakia on 2 October, and they finish away to Slovakia on 13 November before hosting Moldova on 16 November.

In League C, the group winner is promoted to League B, which makes a result in Astana important for both sides.

Kazakhstan Preview: Talgat Baysufinov's Side Seek a Breakthrough

Kazakhstan are coached by Talgat Baysufinov. Their recent results show a side that can score against weaker opposition, including a 4-0 win over Liechtenstein in World Cup qualifying last October and friendly wins over Namibia (2-0) and Comoros (1-0). They also drew 1-1 with Belgium in November, which shows they can compete with better teams.

The Faroe Islands have been a stubborn opponent, though. Kazakhstan lost 1-0 to them in a friendly in November, and the draw in September means they have not won in two attempts.

Faroe Islands Preview: Eydun Klakstein's Disciplined Side

The Faroe Islands are coached by Eydun Klakstein, and they have developed a reputation for being organised and hard to beat. Beating Kazakhstan in a friendly and then holding them to a 1-1 draw at Tórsvøllur has given them real confidence heading to Astana. A trip to Kazakhstan, with a long journey, is never easy, but the Faroes have shown they can take points on the road.

Head-to-Head: Faroe Islands Unbeaten

The two sides have met twice, and Kazakhstan are yet to win.

• 26 September 2026: Faroe Islands 1-1 Kazakhstan (Nations League)
• 18 November 2025: Faroe Islands 1-0 Kazakhstan (friendly)

That is one win and one draw for the Faroe Islands, with Kazakhstan scoring one goal across the two games.

Key Battles to Watch

1. Kazakhstan's patience against a compact defence. The Faroes will defend deep, so Kazakhstan need movement and quick passing to break them down.

2. The Faroes' counter-attacks. With little possession expected, set pieces and transitions are their clearest route to goal.

3. Lessons from Tórshavn. Both coaches have just seen each other's plans, so small adjustments could decide the rematch.

4. Pressure on the hosts. After two games without a win against the Faroes, Kazakhstan will feel the weight of expectation in Astana.
