The Faroese side are used to playing in a pragmatic style, making discipline at the back and quick counter-attacks their main priority. The team looks to instantly punish the opposition for any mistake in possession, using the pace of their wide forwards. In the first match this tactic bore no fruit: the Faroese had just 31% of possession and managed a single shot on target. On top of that, the team earned only three corners throughout the match and posed virtually no threat to the opposition goal. In the return match on home soil, Runavík will need to play more aggressively going forward in an attempt to get something from the game.
