Motherwell are set to face HB Torshavn in the Conference League second-round qualifier at Fir Park. The home crowd may not be familiar with the Faroese domestic football, but they may be wondering how their own side will set up. Former Well midfielder Andy Halliday is full of confidence that his ex-teammates will be able to get over the line.
What happened?
Motherwell have had no time to reinvest the club record fee that they received from Swansea City for Elijah Just. They have a glut of injured players unable to play their part on Thursday evening. Halliday added, "I look at the line-up, I look at the bench, and it's just so easy to notice the amount of big players that Motherwell are missing at this point in time."
Why it matters for Motherwell
The injuries and absentees may hinder Motherwell's chances of winning the game. Halliday said, "How do you replace Elijah Just? How do you replace Callum Slattery? How do you replace Elliot Watt?" Despite the challenges, Halliday believes that if Motherwell are even close to their best, it should be more than enough.
What comes next?
Motherwell will face HB Torshavn on Thursday evening at Fir Park. The game will be a test of their strength and resilience in the face of adversity. Will they be able to overcome the odds and emerge victorious?
