Leivur Frederiksen, a sports journalist from the Faroe Islands, joined Valhmor Camilleri and Gianluca Lia for a conversation about Malta's opening game in their UEFA Euro 2020 qualifiers against the Faroes.

Frederiksen is on his second trip to Malta after covering the 1-1 draw of last November and he explained what this campaign means to their team and how coach Lars Olsen, winner of the Euro championships himself in 1992, has been helpful in nurturing this group of players who are now starting to gain points on a regular basis.

The Faroe Islands have managed to register four points and six points in their last two European qualifying campaigns and they are looking to start this edition on a positive note.

Both Malta and the Faroe Islands met in the UEFA Nations League, with the Nordic side winning 3-1 in Torshavn before the 1-1 stalemate at the National Stadium, in Ta' Qali.
