Open poll and resultsSlovakia vs Faroe Islands prediction
You have to go back more than four years for the last time that Slovakia tasted defeat at home in the Nations League. That bodes well for them ahead of this match, since a win or a draw would confirm them as Group C3 winners and secure promotion. Standing in their way are Faroe Islands, who, like Slovakia, are unbeaten so far in this group stage. However, all four of their fixtures have ended in draws, which leaves them six points adrift of the Slovakians.
When comparing the two squads, it's clear that Slovakia are superior, both in individual ability and as a collective unit. Faroe Islands played well to hold them to a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture, but it's a different kettle of fish this time around, with Slovakia on home soil. Utilising the draw no bet market is worthwhile for added security, but backing Slovakia is the main move to make.
