Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
Following a 3-1 loss to Israel, Estonia will look to get back on course when they take on Norway in their fourth group game. The former Soviet Republic need a win in Monday’s clash if they are to keep their 2026 World Cup hopes alive, but they will have a mountain to climb against Erling Haaland and Co. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Norway’s visit.
Stale Solbakken’s troops, on the other hand, produced a brilliant display in the Group I derby against Italy (3-0). With Man City ace Erling Haland up front, we predict that Norway are going to retain top position in the standings without any difficulties. David faces Goliath at A. Le Coq Arena and anything but a routine away win would be a big surprise. Bearing any fresh injury worries, Stale Solbakken is unlikely to make changes to the team that outplayed the Azzurri on Friday.
Highlighted Team (Norway):

Norway are a Nordic side that participated three times at the FIFA World Cup finals (1938, 1994 and 1998). The Norwegians were producing fine performances at the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France, with the team setting up a meeting with Italy in the last 16 of the showpiece tournament thanks to a 2-1 win over Brazil in their last group match.
However, the Azzurri proved to be a big catch for Norway and thanks to Bobo Vieri’s goal the Italians made it to the quarter-finals. Norway only once qualified for the European Championship finals, with the team suffering elimination in the group stages of the 2000 tournament in Belgium and Netherlands. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the most famous Norwegian player and it is well known that he helped Manchester United beat Bayern Munich in the 1999 Champions League final.
The “Baby-faced” striker scored the winner for the Red Devils in the dying seconds of the match. Norway play their home games at Ullevaal Stadion, which was opened in September, 1926. The capacity of the venue is 28.000.
