Faroe Islands vs Czechia Predictions

• The Faroe Islands won 4-0 on Thursday, their third win in four
• Czechia have conceded 6.7 xG across their first six games
• The visitors won 2-1 in the reverse fixture

Hosts hope to build on impressive result

The Faroe Islands kept themselves in the running to make the World Cup in emphatic fashion on Thursday, as they thumped Montenegro 4-0. That was a third win in four for the Faroes, giving them a real confidence boost for their penultimate game.

Czechia are clear favourites in this trip, but the visitors aren’t convincing defensively. While five of the six goals they’ve conceded in this group came in a hammering in Croatia, they’ve conceded 6.7 Expected Goals, suggesting they’re giving up chances in games.

The Faroe Islands lost 2-1 in Czechia in the reverse fixture, while the hosts created four big chances in their last game and that should spur them on. The hosts had over 1.0 xG in a home loss to Croatia too, so they can create chances against this Czech side.

The visitors have scored 11 times across their first six games, so they’re also backed to get on the scoresheet. They’ve won two of their three trips in this group, so a 2-1 victory for Czechia is my correct score prediction.
