EUROPE: World Cup - Qualification
Faroe Islands are a team that can get some points against weak teams of similar quality like Malta or Andorra, but they haven't recorded a win any bigger teams recently. The most interesting results in recent years are the draws with Kosovo in 2018 and Hungary in 2016.
Most of their players playing in a not very famous home league. We can also find players from the second Belgian league on the squad. In short, not great quality.
They got only 1 point in three matches, draw with Moldova (1:1), lost againts Austria (1:3) and another lost, away against Scotland (4:0)
Israel is significantly better team. The most famous name is PSV striker Zahavi, but Solomon from Shakhtar is also performing well. In the group of qualification, Israel is not completely without a chance, so far they got 4 points in three matches, beat Moldova (4:1), drew with Scotland (1:1) and did not beat Denmark (0:1), so they are in 3rd place by a score ahead of Austria.
If Israel want to advance from this evenly group, they have to make 3 points against Faroe Islands.
Given the quality of players from both countries, I believe Israel will win. In addition, the group may well be decided by the score, so Israel will certainly not want to settle for only a 1-0 win.
My bet:
Handicap: Israel AH -1.0 @ 1.81 (local bookie)
