The World Cup 2026 qualifiers are heating up, and Norway are flying. Ståle Solbakken’s men have been ruthless so far, winning every game in Group I. And now, they welcome Israel to Oslo in what could be another statement performance.
Norway’s got that swagger right now. Eight wins on the bounce, 25 goals in their last six, and a striker who’s scoring goals like it’s a daily routine. Yep, Erling Haaland’s already sitting on nine in this campaign — and counting. Israel, on the other hand, are still licking their wounds from that wild 5-4 loss to Italy. It’s fair to say their defence looked all over the place.
So, can Israel hold off Norway’s attacking storm? Or are we in for another Haaland show? Let’s take a look.
There’s a lot to like about how Norway are shaping up. They’re scoring for fun and defending with confidence — only three goals conceded in their last six. The only downer is the absence of captain Martin Ødegaard. The Arsenal playmaker is nursing a knee injury, and that’s a big creative hole to fill.
But don’t worry, there’s still plenty of firepower. Haaland is in beast mode, Alexander Sørloth’s rediscovered his scoring touch, and Thelo Aasgaard’s hat-trick against Moldova turned a few heads. Expect Solbakken to stick with his attacking 4-3-3 setup, pressing high and moving the ball quickly.
One player to keep an eye on? Felix Myhre. He’s quietly becoming a key part of this team, linking up well in midfield and chipping in with goals too.
Now, Israel’s situation isn’t quite as rosy. That Italy game exposed their defensive issues in a big way. They’ve scored plenty this campaign — 16 goals in six matches — but conceding 11 tells its own story. You just can’t win big games like that.
Twente defender Stav Lemkin remains sidelined with injury, which is a blow because they really need his leadership at the back. On the bright side, Dor Peretz has been in great form, scoring twice against Italy and leading by example in midfield.
Israel’s best hope is to stay compact early, frustrate Norway, and look for moments on the counter. Easier said than done in Oslo, though.
Norway: Nyland; Ryerson, Ajer, Østigård, Meling; Myhre, Berge, Thorstvedt; Aasgaard, Sørloth, Haaland
Israel: Glazer; Menachem, Goldberg, Lavi, Jaber; Peretz, Abu Fani, Solomon; Weissman, Turgeman, Dabbur
Last time these two met, it ended 4-2 to Norway. Israel had some bright spells but couldn’t keep up with the pace or physicality. Haaland was on the scoresheet again — shocker — and Norway’s front line looked unstoppable.
Historically, Norway have had the upper hand in this fixture, and given their current form, it’s tough to see that changing.
Norway are averaging over 4 goals per game in qualifying, and Israel haven’t kept a clean sheet in seven matches. You don’t need to be a betting genius to spot where this is heading.
Some angles worth a look:
Let’s be honest — this feels like another big Norway win. Even without Ødegaard pulling the strings, they’ve got too much pace, power, and precision up front. Haaland looks unstoppable right now, and the midfield behind him is working like a well-oiled machine.
Israel will fight, they always do, but it’s hard to imagine them keeping things tight for long. If they push forward, they’ll leave gaps. And against Norway, that’s dangerous.
Match Prediction: Norway to win. Bet with bet365.
Here’s where things get interesting. Norway don’t just win — they win big. They’ve bagged 25 goals in their last six, and they’re averaging more than four a game in this qualifying run. Israel can score, sure, but their defence just can’t keep up at this level.
I’m calling it now: Norway 4–1 Israel.
Haaland to get a couple, Sørloth to chip in, and maybe Israel grab a late consolation. It’s hard to see any other outcome unless Norway completely switch off — and with the form they’re in, that’s not happening.
So yeah, I’d back a confident 4–1 scoreline. What do you think — too harsh on Israel, or about right?
Correct Score Prediction: Norway 4–1 Israel. Bet with bet365.
You know what? Over 3.5 goals looks tasty here. Norway just smashed 11 past Moldova. They’re not exactly in the mood to slow down. Israel love a chaotic game too — they’ve seen 27 total goals in their last six matches.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 3.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
Here’s a Norway vs Israel combo that ticks all the boxes:
That’s your “attacking football special” right there.
Bet Builder Tip: Norway to win, Both teams to score, Erling Haaland anytime scorer. Bet with bet365.
