Scotland v Faroe Island Friendly Betting Preview

A home fixture against a side of the ilk of Faroe Islands should present few difficulties to Scotland, but those expecting the hosts to run riot need only cast their minds back to that narrow victory over Liechtenstein for a stark reminder of the potential pit falls.

It is no secret that Scotland tend to save their best for the best. A victory over France in Euro 2008 qualifying, narrow defeats to Italy in the same campaign and more recently pushing Spain all the way at Hampden in October are testament to that. But against the so called minnows of world football it is a completely different story.

Which is why the odds of 1/7, with Extrabet, on a home win here are incredibly unappealing. The draw at 6/1 may carry a little value for those who like to bet in play and 16/1 is available on the Faroe Island for the optimistic.

Let us not forget that the Faroes managed to hold Northern Ireland to a draw in their last outing and are an improving side. Scotland also have a number of youngsters in their side including the likes of Dundee United striker David Goodwilli, Liverpool defender Danny Wilson and Aston Villa midfielder Barry Bannan who is set to make his debut.

Short odds backers could be in for a bumpy ride if they put their faith in Scotland this evening.
