Israel vs Faroe Islands Prediction
Israel have been one of the most attack-minded sides in the qualifiers and will want to go out with a bang in front of their fans.
The home side have not been in the best of form, having lost three of their last five games. The Faroe Islands have been more compact in these qualifiers, even though they were once again unable to provide genuine competition to their opponents.
Israel are favorites to triumph in the game and we are backing the home side to secure a comfortable victory.
Prediction: Israel 3-0 Faroe Islands
