Turkey vs Faroe Islands Predictions

• Only three of Turkey’s last 14 home fixtures have ended in defeat
• Faroe Islands have won just one of their last 18 competitive away games
• There have been three or more goals in 10 of Turkey’s last 14 at home

Turkey to avoid an upset

Turkey are not the force of old, hence why they have dropped into League C for the Nations League, but they have more than enough to extend a strong home record against minnows the Faroe Islands.

Stefan Kuntz’s side come into this clash on the back of defeats to Portugal and Italy, but had lost just one of their previous seven before then, picking up four wins in the process.

The Italians, twice, and Wales are the only teams to win in Turkey over the last two years, with the hosts netting at least twice on ten occasions.

Faroe Islands up against it

Promotion to this level courtesy of an unbeaten Nations League campaign in 2020/21 means the Faroe Islands will be no pushovers, but they are ranked 81 places lower than Turkey by FIFA.

Håkan Ericson’s side do not travel well, with four of their last six away games ending in defeat and seeing three or more goals over the course of the 90 minutes.

Indeed, they have managed just one competitive win in six years on their travels, and that was in Andorra in 2020, suffering 16 defeats in 20 outings.

Turkey should be able to win this game comfortably, so I predict a home win with three or more goals over the 90 minutes, selecting 3-0 as a correct score prediction.
