Israel vs Norway Prediction & Betting tips
On Tuesday evening at 19:45, in the 2nd round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Israel will play at home against Norway, in Group I. Both teams started this qualifying campaign on the right foot, each winning in the first round. Israel and Norway have faced each other only once in history, in a friendly match played in 1999, and Norway won with a score of 1-0. This Group I also includes Estonia, Moldova and Italy, with Italy and Norway being the main favorites.
Israel:
As mentioned above, Israel started the qualifying campaign with a 2-1 home win against Estonia. The match was not an easy one as Estonia opened the scoring in the 10th minute, and in the 23rd minute, Israel benefited from an own goal, so that in the 75th minute the winning goal would come. In this group, Israel is seen as the third favorite, as it is hard to believe that they could surpass Italy and Norway, while Moldova and Estonia are the lowest-rated teams. Israel was part of League A in the UEFA Nations League, Group 2, along with France, Italy and Belgium. In the next match, Israel will play at home against Norway.
Norway:
Norway is looking to return to the World Cup, where it hasn’t been since 1998. Although it has always had top players, Norway has only participated in three World Cups and one European Championship. Norway started this campaign off right, managing a 5-0 away win against Moldova. Halaand is certainly the most important player in the Norwegian squad, but Odegaard and Alexander Sorloth shouldn’t be forgotten either. In the UEFA Nations League, Norway finished first in League B Group 3, where Austria, Kazakhstan and Slovenia were also found, thus managing to be promoted to League A.
