Scotland have endured a tough start to their qualification campaign for Qatar 2022, drawing both their opening games after being forced to come from behind. They will be hoping to adequately address this on Match Day 3 when they host Faroe Islands. Scotland are third in Group F with two points and Faroe Islands fourth with a point. In their last game, Scotland came from down to draw 1-1 with Israel in Tel Aviv, and playing against one of the weakest teams in this group, they know they have to start winning now. The Scots are without an outright win in their last five matches and they should take inspiration from their second half performance against Israel. A lack of clean sheets in the last five matches is another worry that Manager Steve Clarke has got to deal with but with a fairly good home run, they should be able to overcome the slow start. In the last seven home matches, Scotland have no loss and four wins, while they’ve failed to score in just one of the seven. Despite their slow start to the qualifiers, Scotland are unbeaten in eight world Cup qualification matches but being four points below group leaders Denmark should push them in this game. They’ve scored in seven straight home matches in World Cup qualifiers, and have managed four wins and as many clean sheets. In three of their last four home matches in World Cup qualifiers, Scotland have scored twice and their run against Faroe should also come in play here. They have four straight wins over their visitors, with three straight clean sheets, while in each of their last five meetings, Scotland have scored two or more goals.

Faroe Islands took a 19th minute lead in Austria as they eyed a shocker in this group but that lasted just 20 minutes as their hosts went on to win 3-1, leaving Faroe with the one point gained against Moldova in the opening round. The visitors are now winless in five matches and with no clean sheet as well, but they have scored in each of their last seven matches. For the 107th ranked nation, this will be the sixth straight match they play away from home. The last time they played at home was in October 2020, a Nations League game against Andorra, which they won 2-0. In their last six away matches, Faroe Islands have no win and no clean sheet. They’ve managed just one win in 19 away matches. In World Cup qualification matches, they have no win and four losses in the last six away from home.
