Rijeka, Croatia – As Faroe Islands and Kazakhstan dey prepare for their last game of 2025, dem go face each other for friendly match wey go happen for Croatia this Tuesday. Both teams don hustle hard for World Cup qualifiers this year, but dem no fit carry the heavy load wey World Cup dey require (Naija, we sabi wetin be hustle!).
Last week, Faroe Islands don suffa suffer for their last match as dem lose to Croatia 3-1. E be like say dem don tire to dey chase qualification after dem don try gather points since June. Dem manage escape with some decent wins, but Croatian boys show dem pepper last week (better babe don carry dem go side when dem no expect!).
Kazakhstan, on the other hand, dey carry better vibes after dem manage draw with Belgium last week. Na im give dem hope as dem dey look forward to this friendly. Dem don finish fourth for their World Cup qualifying group, but with this friendly, dem wan build confidence (diplomatic dance: ‘we go try again next year!’).
Faroe Islands don dey miss some key players, particularly midfielders as dem dey set for dis match. But no be say dem go just fold hand and watch as Kazakhs dey come with full squad, dem still dey get some players wey sabi ball well, like 34-year-old striker wey dey near his 100 caps. Kazakhs too dey adjust since dem dey without some regulars, but dem hope say major playmakers go deliver well as dem enter dis friendly match.
Wey Faroe Islands form don dey before this match? Dem get three wins from five match, but after dat struggle against Croatia, e go hard to brush off dat feeling of defeat. If dem fit start well against Kazakhstan, dem fit find small way to recover from last week’s matter (sometimes, you just need jollof to heal!).
Kazakhstan’s form slightly dey encourage dem as dem draw three of their last games. With coach don dey lead dem with clear vision despite facing challenges, dem don set their faces for Nigeria-level determination to make am for their next big break. Dem go dey think say if dem fit score and defend well early, dem fit catch groove and kon come out with outsmall win.
Wetin we dey expect for dis friendly match? Abeg, make we no lie expect hot tin! Both teams go want shine and prove say dem fit perform even without stake. Na last game of di year, so vibes dey high!
