Welcome to our Faroe Islands vs Croatia prediction, where we break down the tactics, team news, and betting tips for this World Cup Qualification Europe encounter set for September 5, 2025, at Tórsvøllur stadium in Tórshavn. With Croatia aiming to cement their place among football’s elite and the Faroe Islands eager to spring another surprise, fans can expect an intriguing evening—at least, for those who appreciate the beauty of the underdog story.
Let’s start with the current landscape. In the World Cup Qualification group, Croatia sits comfortably in second place, while the Faroe Islands occupy fourth. Recent form tells a familiar tale: Croatia’s last 10 qualifiers have seen them notch up five wins, two draws, and three losses, with an impressive 22 goals scored. Their away form is solid, and they’ve recently thrashed Czechia 5-1 and Gibraltar 7-0—results that underline their attacking prowess.
The Faroe Islands, meanwhile, have had a mixed campaign. Two wins, three draws, and five losses in their last ten qualifiers reflect a team that can frustrate but rarely dominate. Their most recent highlight was a gritty 1-0 away win over Armenia—a result that sent shockwaves through the betting world, with pre-match odds of 6.0 for a Faroese victory. At home, they are stubborn, drawing three of their last four, but they have only managed eight goals in the group so far.
Injuries could play a role for Croatia, with doubts over defenders like Joško Gvardiol and midfield dynamo Lovro Majer, but their squad depth remains formidable. The Faroe Islands, by contrast, have no major injury concerns, but their squad value (€5.55m) is dwarfed by Croatia’s €316.30m—highlighting the gulf in resources.
The head to head record between these two sides is heavily in Croatia’s favour. The last time Croatia pulled off a major away win against a footballing giant was their 1-0 victory in France (2022), showing they’re comfortable on the road. The Faroe Islands, for their part, are no strangers to upsets—just ask Greece, who fell to the Faroes in 2014. But the scale of the challenge here is enormous.
Now, let’s get to the heart of our Faroe Islands vs Croatia prediction. The bookmakers make no secret of where the smart money lies:
