Prediction: 1-2
Norway
Top position in Group I will be at stake when Israel and Norway face each other at Nagyerdei Stadion on Tuesday evening. Israel survived Estonia in the opening match of their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign. However, they will have a mountain to climb against Norway. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Leeds United winger Manor Salomon, who provided an assist for Eli Dasa in the Group I opener.
The Norwegians, on the other hand, rolled over Moldova 5-0 at the weekend, with both Erling Haaland and Alexander Sorloth opening their goal-scoring accounts. When the two teams met in a friendly, back in 1999, Norway defeated Israel 1-0 and given the number of top-class footballers in Stale Solbakken’s team, we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard should once again captain Norway.
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.
