Croatia vs Faroe Islands prediction
Croatia come into this one on the back of a comfortable 3-0 defeat of Gibraltar last month at Stadion Andelko Herjavec. The Croats have collected 16 points from their six qualifiers in Group L of UEFA qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, scoring 20 goals and conceding just one in the process.
They face a Faroe Islands side that have now won four of their last five qualifiers to give themselves a slight chance of finishing second in Group L but it would require the Czechs dropping points to Gibraltar and the Faroese backing up last month’s victories over Montenegro and Czechia by winning in Croatia.
That is unlikely to happen but complacency from the Croats could allow a flurry of Faroese attacks and they have proven themselves to be becoming more effective.
