Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Norway vs. Israel at World Cup Qualifiers

When: Saturday, October 11, 6 pm CET
Where: Ullevaal Stadion, Oslo, Norway

Norway holds the top spot in Group I, being perfect for the moment. Yet they can’t allow themselves to slip, because Italy breathes down their neck and is ready to jump in and snatch the direct ticket to the World Cup. Israel is third, having the same number of points as Italy, though with one game more played. Therefore, they too have a lot at stake here.

Norway vs. Israel Preview

Norway

With 5 wins in 5 rounds, the Norwegian team leads the way in Group I. And not just that, as we saw very confident performances delivered by Odegaard and Haaland, with the note that the latter won’t be paying here due to an injury.

In five World Cup qualifying matches, Norway scored 24 goals and conceded only 3, performing ferociously and without any issues in their game. A large portion of this goal difference is thanks to an 11-1 win over Moldova.

Yet, Norway was better than Italy 3-0, in a game that saw them completely demolish the Azzurri and look at least one level above their famous rivals. Additionally, Norway went on to beat Israel on the road, 2-4, which is yet another demonstration of their strength.

Israel

Amidst the ongoing situation regarding their potential banishment from UEFA and FIFA competitions, the Israeli team prepared for this game. They had an excellent chance of beating Italy in the previous event, having the lead twice, yet eventually losing 4-5.

This team plays efficient and open football, and four of the past five events all ended with over 3.5 goals. They don’t have any big-time superstars, but they play well and have good chemistry.

Their record on the road is good for the moment, having beaten Estonia and Moldova, but prior to that, they failed to win all three events in the UEFA Nations League, losing to Belgium and Italy, and drawing with France.

Norway vs Israel Head to Head

The first game was at a neutral field due to the war in Gaza. Norway won 2-4, with Odegaard having three assists, and Wolfe, Sorloth, Ajer, and Haaland all scoring a goal. On the other side, Abu Fani and Turgeman netted for Israel. The match took place in Debrecen, Hungary.

Norway vs. Israel Predictions

The Norwegian team is better, plus it plays at home, so it’s not unusual to see them as huge favorites. They won’t have Odegaard, who is the heart and the soul of the crew, but even so, we expect them to win without problems and cover a two-goal margin.

Our verdict: Norway -1.5
