HB Torshavn vs Derry City 13.07.2023

HB Torshavn will be looking to fly the Faroe Island flag high when they host Derry City in the first leg of their Conference League qualification playoff on Thursday. They earned this opportunity after finishing third in the domestic league last season. Torshavn haven’t had the best preparation for this match as they have lost their last two league games in this new season. They nevertheless are still top 3 in the league and they will be keen to get off to the right footing as they seek to throw their hat in the group stage of the European competition

After finishing second behind Shamrock Rovers in the Irish Premier Division, Derry City have pretty much maintained that momentum in this new season. They are currently tied on points in 2nd place, just 4 points behind the champions Shamrock midway through the season. Derry will be hoping to replicate this run in Europe as they lock horns with Torshavn.

With both of these teams keen to book a slot in European competition, we can expect a close start to the game as they both hold their cards close to their chests. Toshavn have been quite solid at home in recent matches. Three of their last four home games have been level of the break. We are backing a repeat of the same here
