Faroe Islands vs Israel - 01/09/2021

On Wednesday night, Faroes Islands host Israel in Group F of European qualifying for World Cup 2022.
Faroes Islands are one of the minnows of international football. However, they have gained confidence in recent years due to victories against fellow minnows of the world game.
The home sides recent record is not great, but last time out Hakan Ericsson’s team hammered Liechtenstein 5-1. The win ended a seven-game winless run that included three straight defeats.
When it comes to games in Group F, they have picked up just a point from their opening three games in qualifying.
Despite big progress in recent years, the main aim is to claim as many points as they can. A record of one win in their last ten World Cup qualifiers highlights their struggles.
Faroe Islands will hope to be more prolific in front of goal on home soil, as they have scored just one goal in their last six World Cup qualifiers.
Israel will believe that they have a chance of finishing in the top two of Group F, as they have taken four points from their opening three matches. The points tally leaves the visitors third-place in the group, a point behind second-place Scotland.
However, Israel’s form will need to improve if they are to have a chance of finishing in the top two in Group F, as they have won just one game in their last four qualifiers. A 4-1 win over Moldova in their last qualifier ended a three-game winless run in qualifiers.
Israel have a decent away record in World Cup qualifying, as they have won four of their last six away matches on their travels in qualifying, including two straight away wins against Liechtenstein and Moldova.
Forebet predicts that this qualifier will finish in a low-scoring draw, which would be a hit to Israel’s hopes of finishing in the group’s top-two.
