- Competition: World Cup Qualification 2026 (UEFA)
- Date: 6th June, 2025
- Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
- Venue: A Le Coq Arena
Estonia and Israel have started the qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with one win and one defeat each. On Friday, the two teams will meet at Le Coq Arena to fight for three more points that could secure one of the two teams second place in Group I.
The hosts secured their first win in World Cup qualifying in the last round - Estonia beat Moldova 3-2 in a hard-fought match. The Israeli team, on the other hand, were literally overrun by the Norwegians: Erling Haaland and Co. shot down the Israelis in a 4:2 victory.
Estonia - Israel Betting Tips: Israel to Win
Estonia and Israel have already met in Group I of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, with the Israelis recording a 2-1 victory over the Estonians. Although the final score only indicated a one-goal margin of victory, Israel dominated almost the entire game (75% possession vs. 25%) and had 29 shot attempts compared to Estonia’s 7. They had six big scoring chances and exerted intense pressure on the Estonians for almost the entire match. Based on these findings from the first head-to-head clash between the two teams, we are predicting a win for Israel on Friday.
