Preview
Turkey come into this after a 3-2 loss against Italy in a previously played friendly clash in March 2022.
Under and Dursan scored for the hosts before Cristante and Raspadori (2) turned the game around with their strikes to give Azzurri a victory.
Successive losses against Portugal and Italy alongside the departure of Yilmaz has left Turkey short on confidence.
Hence, this is a chance for them to get back into form and start a run of positive results.
On the other hand, Faroe Islands beat Liechtenstein 1-0 away from home in a friendly clash during March 2022.
Johannesen scored the opener and only goal of the contest in the 1st half as Faroe Islands earned a first win after 4 successive defeats.
This was the Islanders 2nd win in the last 7 matches which includes 5 losses as well.
Lithuania and Luxembourg complete this group with all four sides looking to start off on a high.

Faroe Islands possible 11:
Nielsen, Sorensen, Baldvinsson, Nattestad, Davidsen, Hansson, Joensen, Bjartalid, Vatnhamar, Johannesen and Agnarsson
Prediction: Turkey 2-0 Faroe Islands
Turkey has been in indifferent form despite the quality on show as they missed out on a spot in the World Cup. The capabilities are present but not used properly and to effect.
Faroe Islands should take the game to Turkey and play on their iffy form but we see the hosts managing a comfortable victory.
