Norway vs Estonia prediction 13.11.2025 | World Cup 2026 Qualification

Norway’s qualifying campaign has been outstanding. They are currently sitting on a perfect six wins from six matches with a mindblowing goal-difference of +26, scoring 29 and conceding just 3. Their recent results include a 5-0 home win over Israel (October 2025) and an 11-1 demolition of Moldova (September) in which the Manchester City goal machine Haaland scored five. Remarkably, their 1-0 away win against Estonia was the only time Norway scored fewer than three goals in this World Cup 2026 qualification campaign. In the remaining five fixtures, Ståle Solbakken’s men scored three or more, including a 3-0 home win over the four-time World Cup winners, Italy.

In their June away win at Estonia they dominated the statistical matrix: 62% possession, 19 total shots vs 7, with three on target against two for Estonia. 

On the injury front Norway must manage the absence of long-term midfield influence. Captain and playmaker Martin Ødegaard is out of the squad due to a medial collateral ligament injury in his left knee and will not feature.

Estonia’s qualifying journey has been much more challenging. They have managed only one win and one draw in seven Group I matches, accumulating just four points and registering a goal-difference of -10 (seven scored, 17 conceded). Their away form is even worse: in qualifying they average fewer than one point per game in away fixtures. Estonia’s only win in the qualifying campaign so far came away to Moldova, where Jurgen Henn’s men scored nearly half of their total goals in the entire World Cup qualification, defeating the Moldovans 3-2 in a match that saw a player sent off for each side.

In terms of personnel news, the Estonian squad will be missing midfielder Mattias Käit (broken toe) and defender Maksim Paskotši (ankle injury) for this match.
