Will Croatia go undefeated through the group stage?
The Croatian national team can take another big step towards the 2026 World Cup and crown themselves group winners of Group L with a victory over the Faroe Islands. The Croatians are unbeaten in their six qualifying games so far, winning five of them. With 16 points, they are top of the table, ahead of Czechia in second place, who are three points behind but have also played one game more.
Zlatko Dalic’s team won all three first halves 1-0 in front of their home crowd. Our Croatia vs. Faroe Islands tip is therefore: Croatia to win the first half with less than 2.5 goals scored.
Croatia is the team to beat in Group L, leading the group with an impressive goal difference of 20:1. Their only goal conceded and only point lost came against Czechia. In the first leg, the Vatreni only managed a 1-0 win, but they have scored at least three goals in each of their home games. In our Croatia vs. Faroe Islands prediction, we are again betting on at least three goals from the Croatians.
An important factor for the current Croatian national team is Andrej Kramaric. The TSG Hoffenheim striker has already scored six goals in World Cup qualifying, leading the scoring charts in this group ahead of Czechia’s Patrik Schick with four goals. He also scored three goals in his two starts in front of his home crowd.
According to Croatia vs. Faroe Islands odds, the Faroe Islands national team is of course the clear underdog going into this match, but the odds are not as clear-cut as they seem. With twelve points from their first seven games, they are only one point behind the Czech Republic and could even overtake them. Above all, the Faroe Islands score points with a very stable defense. Since the first matchday against Czechia, Eyoun Klakstein’s team has never conceded more than one goal.
They have even had three wins in a row recently, so the Faroe Islands should not be underestimated. The goal sequence in their games is also striking: in five of their seven games, more goals were scored in the second half – in Croatia’s case, in four of six. Therefore, a tip for more goals in the second half is obvious – you can play this on Croatia vs. Faroe Islands betting odds of 2.00 in the clear Bet-at-home app.

Croatia – Faroe Islands Tip
The Croatian national team can already emerge as the winner of Group L in the penultimate group match, having won five of the six qualifying matches with an impressive goal difference of 20:1.
Although they only won 1-0 against the Faroe Islands in the first leg, the Croatians have scored at least three goals in each of their three home games so far, winning each first half 1-0. In Kramaric, they also have a prolific striker who has scored three times in his last two starts.
The Faroe Islands, on the other hand, are also performing well, winning four of their last five qualifying games. They are also very solid defensively and have never conceded more than one goal since the first matchday. Eyoun Klakstein’s team has won only one of their three away games, with four of their five goals coming in the second half. Overall, the Faroe Islands have scored more goals after the break in five of their seven games.
