Georgia will face the Faroe Islands at the Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena on Thursday in a friendly clash between the two nations. The home side have two friendly matches slated for the month as they begin to prepare for their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign, which kicks off in September.
The Crusaders put out two brilliant performances in the last international break as they faced Armenia in the UEFA Nations League Promotion/Relegation Playoffs, winning the first-leg clash 3-0 and the second 6-1 to retain their League B status.
The Faroe Islands, meanwhile, kicked off their World Cup qualifying campaign back in March, losing 2-1 to Czechia in their opening game with Gunnar Vatnhamar's late strike ultimately counting as a mere consolation goal. They were then beaten 1-0 by Montenegro in their second group game, once again conceding a late winner.

The visitors will be looking to put out a more convincing performance this week ahead of their return to competitive action next Monday when they take on Gibraltar.

Georgia vs Faroe Islands Prediction
Georgia are on a run of back-to-back victories after going winless in their four games prior. They have lost just once on home soil since late 2023 and will head into the midweek clash as overwhelming favorites.
Te Landsliðið, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing streak and have won just one of their last 11 games across all competitions. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams, coupled with their contrasting form, could see the visitors suffer defeat here.
