Newtown vs HB Torshavn Predictions

• There has been fewer than three goals scored in all of the hosts’ previous seven matches.
• There has been fewer than three goals scored in six of the visitors’ last seven matches.
• The first leg ended 1-0 to the visitors and it was dominated by the side from the Faroe Islands.

Hosts nerves could be key

The hosts were able to finish third in the Cymru Premier League last campaign and it put them in the mix for European qualification. However, they don’t have a great record on the big stage having won just once of their five European ties, conceding 26 goals across their last 10 such matches. They arrive here looking to overturn a 1-0 deficit, but if they’re to do so they’ll need to show some kind of attacking intent as they were pinned back in the first leg.

The visitors know that if they can keep things tight, the likelihood is that they’ll be gifted a chance to put the tie to bed. They don’t need to attack and may decide to soak up any pressure and hit on the break. It would be exceptionally surprising if they went all out in an attempt to score more goals.

Goals in short supply

The visitors don’t need to push forward and look much the better side. We think they’ll defend their 1-0 lead and we fancy a low-scoring encounter. We’ll be backing under 2.5 goals in this match.
