It’s another exciting night of World Cup qualifying as Croatia take on the Faroe Islands in Group L. Both teams have shown different sides to their campaigns — Croatia dominant and unbeaten, the Faroe Islands brave and improving fast. This Croatia vs Faroe Islands prediction feels straightforward on paper, but there’s more to it once you look closer at how the visitors have been performing lately.
Croatia come into this one in flying form under Zlatko Dalić. The Blazers have five wins and one draw from six games, looking every bit like a team with serious momentum. Their latest 3-0 win over Gibraltar summed them up perfectly: patient, controlled, and ruthless when it mattered. Toni Fruk, Luka Sučić, and Martin Erlić all found the net, while Croatia’s back line barely gave up a chance.
There’s no mention of any fresh injury worries for Dalić’s side, so you can expect another strong lineup featuring plenty of attacking flair and possession dominance.
For the Faroe Islands, it’s been a campaign full of spirit. Eydun Klakstein’s men have picked up 12 points in seven games — an impressive return considering the group’s quality. They’re coming off a 2-1 win over the Czech Republic, with Hanus Sørensen and Martin Agnarsson on the scoresheet. Defensively, they’ve also been solid, conceding just four goals in their last six outings.
Croatia (4-3-3):
Livaković – Juranović, Erlić, Gvardiol, Sosa – Brozović, Sučić, Modrić – Fruk, Kramarić, Perišić
Faroe Islands (4-4-2):
Gestsson – Davidsen, Faero, Nielsen, Agnarsson – Sørensen, Olsen, Vatnsdal, Andreasen – Mikkelsen, Joensen
If you’ve followed Croatia’s campaign, you’ll know how dominant they’ve been. With five wins and one draw, they’ve barely put a foot wrong. Their attacking rhythm has been excellent — 20 goals in six games — while their defence remains one of the tightest in the qualifiers.
But don’t write off the Faroe Islands. They’ve been one of the surprise stories of the group. Winning four of their last five games, including that memorable 2-1 victory over the Czechs, shows this team has heart and organisation. They rarely collapse — in fact, they’ve gone 15 matches without losing by more than a single goal.
So, while Croatia should win, it might not be the one-sided scoreline many expect.
Croatia are unbeaten, confident, and playing at home. You’d expect them to take charge from the start, keeping the ball and stretching the Faroes’ back four. With Fruk and Sučić both in form, goals are almost guaranteed.
Still, there’s something about this Faroe Islands side — they don’t go down easily. Their defensive work rate and compact shape could frustrate Croatia for spells. But over 90 minutes, Dalić’s men have too much quality.
Match Prediction: Croatia to win. Bet with bet365.
In the reverse fixture, Croatia only managed a 1-0 win despite dominating possession and chances. That hints that this might not be a walkover.
However, Croatia’s recent 3-0 win over Gibraltar suggests they’ve sharpened up in front of goal. Combine that with home advantage, and you’ve got a strong case for a comfortable scoreline.
Correct Score Prediction: Croatia 3-0 Faroe Islands. Bet with bet365.
If you’re looking at goal totals, here’s what stands out:
Given those stats, the safest play might be Over 2.5 goals, with Croatia doing most of the scoring. Still, the Faroe Islands’ resilience suggests it might not be a goal fest from start to finish. Expect Croatia to turn it on late rather than early.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
Here’s a simple combo worth considering:
It reflects the flow of Croatia’s recent performances — dominant, attacking, and often finishing strongly in the second half.
Bet Builder Tip: Croatia to win, Over 2.5 total goals, and Luka Modric to score anytime. Bet with bet365.
