Croatia – Faroe Islands. Forecast and announcement for the 2026 World Cup qualifying match

On Friday, November 14, there will be a World Cup qualification match between the national teams of Croatia and the Faroe Islands. The game will start at 21:45 Kyiv time.

Croatia

The team has been demonstrating stability and reliable results for a long time. For example, in the last season of the League of Nations, the Croatians managed to reach the 1/4 finals, but there the team was defeated in a penalty shootout against France.

In 6 matches of the current selection for the World Cup, Croatia managed to get 16 out of 18 possible points – the only misfire occurred in the match against the Czech Republic, which ended in a 0:0 draw. Such results allow the national team to occupy the 1st step of the tournament table of its own group and to be ahead of the nearest competitors by 3 points.

Faroe Islands

Last year’s Nations League did not go too well for the national team – the team scored 6 points in 6 games, but even this was enough to take the 3rd place in the group and keep registration in the C division.

However, in the qualification for the World Championship, the Faroes surprised everyone – in 7 matches, the team scored 12 points, thanks to which they now occupy the 3rd place of the quintet. Only 1 point separates the team from the Czech national team, which is placed on the 2nd step.

Personal meetings

The teams met each other only once – in the 1st round of the current qualification. Then Croatia won the minimum victory.

Interesting facts

• Faroe Islands have won 4 of their last 5 matches.
• Croatia have not lost at home for 12 consecutive matches.
• There have been more than 3 goals scored in only 1 of the Faroe Islands’ last 11 games.

Forecast

I’ll bet on the total under 3 at odds of 1.9.
