Gibraltar vs Faroe Islands Prediction: Visitors to prosper in Europa Point

The battle to avoid the wooden spoon in Group L looks to be between Gibraltar and the Faroe Islands, and the two teams will fight it out for the second time in this World Cup qualifying campaign on Monday (19:45 BST).

Both teams have played four games so far during qualifying, and the Faroe Islands have three points to their name thanks to a 2-1 win over point-less Gibraltar in June. The hosts have been the whipping boys of Group L so far and look set for another evening of disappointment in front. Below you can find my Gibraltar vs Faroe Islands predictions, alongside team news and match odds.

Team News

Gibraltar boss Scott Wiseman watched his side lose 1-0 to Albania in a friendly on Thursday, and that is considered a good result. Dorking Wanderers' Carlos Richards and Tjay De Barr of Lincoln Red Imps both featured in that match and are expected to start once again

Football Odds

The Faroe Islands only lost 1-0 to Croatia last time out, so like Wiseman, manager Eyoun Klakstein is likely to stick with a similar XI, including the likes of Arni Frederiksberg, Hanus Sorensen and Andrias Edmundsson.

Gibraltar vs Faroe Islands Odds

Despite being at home, Gibraltar are 7/1 outsiders to win on Monday, with the draw on offer at 11/4. The Faroe Islands have been installed as 1/2 favourites, implying a 66.7% probability of success.

Over 2.5 goals is available at 11/8, while both teams to score is priced at 13/8.

Faroe Islands forwards Joan Simun Edmundsson and Pall Klettskard lead the way in the anytime scorer market at 7/4.

Faroe Islands to win @ 1/2

The Faroe Islands have fared well against teams of Gibraltar's level, and they should record another win in Group L.

Eyoun Klakstein's men won the reverse fixture in June and are proving to be difficult to beat. Their last seven defeats have all been by one goal, including the hard-fought test they gave top-level operators Croatia last time out, and that should be a major confidence boost heading into this match.

Gibraltar have lost five in a row and look short of ideas in the final third, and the visitors look more than capable of registering their second win in qualifying.

Under 2.5 goals @ 4/7

Gibraltar have failed to score in three successive matches at home, and that record should be extended.

The Faroe Islands have proved time and time again in the last 12 months that they will be difficult to overcome and will look to frustrate from the outset.

They have only conceded one goal in each of their last four outings, and their defensive-first mindset should lead to a low-scoring contest on Monday.
