Israel vs Norway Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Both sides have won their initial World Cup qualification matches.

The Israel national football team are ready to host the Norway national football team in match week two of the 2026 FIFA World Cup UEFA qualifiers. The hosts are in second place in Group I and won their first game. The visitors also won their first fixture and are at the top of the table because of the goal difference.

The Israel national football team will be at home which will also be an added advantage for them against Norway. They are coming in after securing a 2-1 win over Estonia in their previous 2026 FIFA World Cup European qualifiers game. It was a close game, but Israel managed to secure a win. They will have to come up with a better attack rate against Martin Odegaard and Co.

The Norway national football team will be feeling confident as they are coming in after securing a dominating win in their last encounter against Moldova. It was a complete performance by Norwegians and they dominated in every field. Norway also maintained a clean sheet and will be looking to continue their form here.

Players to Watch

Manor Solomon (Israel)

Erling Haaland (Norway)

Erling Haaland is a top asset for the Norway national football team. With his ability to find spaces in the opponent’s defence, Haaland can be a menace. He is also coming in after scoring a goal in Norway’s 5-0 win over Moldova. For Norway, Haaland is going to play a big role in the attacking front.
