The hosts arrive flying high after a record-breaking victory, while the visitors remain steady contenders for automatic qualification. This matchup promises passion, tactical discipline, and a few surprises the kind fans love to analyze through Soccer Stats and form trends.
- Faroe Islands are chasing a third straight World Cup qualifying win after a record 4-0 triumph.

- Faroe Islands boast two home wins in three during this qualifying campaign.
It’s been a dream week for the Faroe Islands. Their 4-0 demolition of Montenegro wasn’t just another win: it was history in motion. Hanus Sorensen opened the scoring in style, while veteran Arni Frederiksberg stole the show with a goal and two assists. At 33, he’s finally bringing his domestic scoring touch to the international stage. You can feel something shifting in this Faroese side. Their confidence, their structure, their belief, it’s all clicking. Still, facing a team like the Czech Republic is a completely different beast.
Head coach Eydun Klakstein won’t want to change much. The back three of Odmar Faero, Gunnar Vatnhamar, and Andrias Edmundsson have been rock solid, conceding just once in their last three. The home crowd at Torsvollur has played its part too, loud, passionate, and hungry for another shock. The question now is whether this momentum can translate into a result against a disciplined, experienced Czech outfit.
On the other side, Czech Republic arrive unbeaten in three, including a gritty 0-0 draw with Croatia on Thursday. That defensive effort, led by Vladimir Coufal and Ladislav Krejci, showed real steel. But the absence of star striker Patrik Schick leaves a noticeable gap up front. Ivan Hasek might turn to Matej Vydra for a spark, while midfielders Soucek and Provod will look to push higher and control the rhythm. The Czechs have quality, no doubt, but creativity in the final third could be their main concern.
Even so, this fixture feels wide open. The Faroe Islands’ confidence at home meets the Czechs’ calm control on the road. With both sides capable of finding the net, and a few defensive cracks visible in recent performances, the stage is set for a game that could swing either way. In matches like this, you can’t help but lean on the numbers the Soccer Stats say both teams are creating chances, and that might just be the story of Sunday.
Both teams finding the net looks a solid bet here. The Faroe Islands have scored in every home qualifier so far, including a stunning 4-0 win over Montenegro and a goal in defeat to Croatia, a top-tier defense. They’ve generated over 1.0 xG in their last two matches, showing real attacking intent. Czech Republic, meanwhile, have scored 11 goals in six qualifiers, but their defense has conceded 6.7 expected goals. They tend to give up chances, especially away from home. With Patrik Schick out, the Czechs might rely on their midfield runners, leaving gaps at the back. The Faroese are riding a wave of confidence and won’t sit back at home. The Czechs are chasing top spot and can’t afford to play cautiously. Both teams have motivation, both can score — and the numbers back it up. Expect a lively contest with goals at both ends.
