Czechia will be aiming to pull three points clear at the top of Group L of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers when they take on the Faroe Islands at the Torsvollur Stadium on Sunday. Eydun Klakstein’s men picked up consecutive victories for the first time since September 2020 and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling in what has been an impressive qualifying campaign.
The Faroe Islands turned in a superb team display on Thursday as they thrashed Montenegro 4-0 when the two nations squared off at the Torsvollur Stadium.
With that result, Klakstein’s side have won three of their most recent four competitive matches, having lost each of the three games preceding this run.
With nine points from six qualifying matches, the Faroe Islands are currently third in the Group L table, three points above fourth-placed Montenegro.
Meanwhile, there was nothing to separate Czechia and Croatia in the top-of-the-table clash on Thursday when they played out a goalless draw at Fortuna Arena.
Before that, Ivan Hasek’s men saw their three-game winning streak in the qualifiers come to an end in June, when they were beaten 5-1 by Croatia at Opus Arena, before bouncing back in a 2-0 victory over Montenegro on September 5.
Czechia have picked up 13 points from their six matches in Group L to sit second in the standings, level on points with first-placed Croatia, who have one game in hand.

Faroe Islands vs Czechia Prediction
While the Faroe Islands can take pride in their performance in the qualifiers, Sunday’s game could prove pivotal in their push for a place in the World Cup.
Their record against Czechia in this fixture leaves little room for optimism, and we see them struggling against a well-drilled side who boast a superior and more experienced group.
