Underdogs, the Faroe Islands will host Group L favourites Croatia in an important World Cup Qualifier this Friday. The home side will have a full Torsvollur Stadium behind them as they face the unenviable task of halting Zlatko Dalic's Checkered Ones' fantastic start to qualifying. Can Eyoun Klakstein's Faroes team defy many a prediction and get something from this match?
A quick look at the Group L table doesn't offer home fans too much hope. While the Czech Republic are top with nine points after four games, Croatia lies second with maximum points from two matches and has rattled in 12 goals in those two games. Montenegro lies third also with six points, but having played a game more, while the Faroe Islands lies fourth with three points from three games. Gibraltar sit at the bottom without a point from four matches so far.
The Faroe Islands had lost four games in a row, all away from home, three by a 1-0 scoreline (against North Macedonia, Montenegro and Georgia) and a 2-1 loss against the Czech Republic. However, their most recent game saw them beat Gibraltar 2-1 at home in Torshavn.
After losing out on penalties to France in the Nations League quarterfinals in March after a 2-0 win and 2-0 defeat, Croatia kicked off their qualifying campaign with a 7-0 away win over Gibraltar. They then followed that with a thumping 5-1 victory over Group L leaders the Czech Republic back in June.

Our Faroe Islands vs Croatia Prediction
Our prediction for the Faroe Islands vs. Croatia Group L World Cup Qualifier is: Croatia wins the match to nil.
To say this is a tough fixture for the home side is an understatement. Croatia have thrashed both their opponents in Group L so far, including the table-topping Czech Republic. The Faroe Islands have lost two of their three games, their only win a narrow one over rock-bottom Gibraltar. These two sides have never met previously, but the smart money here is on a Croatia victory and for the visitors to keep a clean sheet.
