Faroe Islands will play hosts to Denmark in the matchday 5 of the 2022 World Cup qualifying Group F on Saturday. The kick-off is at 20:45 CEST.

Preview

Despite opening their 2022 WC qualifying campaign with a 1-1 draw in Moldova, the Faroe Islands went on to suffer back-to-back defeats at the hands of Austria (3-1) and Scotland (4-0) in March before losing to Israel 4-0 in the matchday 4 on Wednesday. Thus, Hakan Ericson's men are coming into this encounter sitting in fifth in the Group F with 12 goals conceded.

Denmark, on the contrary, claimed consecutive victories over Israel (2-0), Moldova (8-0) and Austria (4-0) during the previous international break and have gone on to extend their winning streak to four matches in Wednesday's 2-0 triumph against Scotland. Therefore, Kasper Hjulmand's side are one of only three national teams who are yet to concede during the current qualifying run.

Team news

Rogvi Baldvinsson is the only injury absentee in the hosts' set-up while the same reason has left the visitors without five players ahead of their trip to Torshavn, namely Martin Braithwaite, Kasper Dolberg, Jannik Vestergaard, Philip Billing and Nicolai Boilesen.

Prediction

There could be no mistake when predicting a winner of this clash with three points all but confirmed for the Danes. Moreover, it does look like that Hjulmand's crop are going to claim another clean-sheet win this time around. The only question is that how much times will the visitors find the back of the net on Saturday. Given their thrashing of Moldova in March, we'd say that a repetition of that outcome is more than likely to happen at Torsvollur.

Denmark to win and total over 3.5 at 2.12 with 1XBET.
