Norway vs Israel prediction 11.10.2025 | World Cup Qualifiers

Since being soundly beaten 5:1 by Austria in the Nations League group stage back in October, Norway have been a completely different side. Erling Haaland and Co are currently on an eight-match winning streak, a run that has seen them scored 34 goals and conceded just 4.

Five of those games were FIFA World Cup qualifiers and have propelled the team to the top of Group I. With a six-point lead over second-placed Italy, victory for Ståle Solbakken’s team this weekend would significantly enhance their chances of automatic qualification.

Erling Haaland scored 5 goals the last time he played for the national team and has been in fine form in the Premier League this season. The Manchester City forward is expected to lead the line for the hosts alongside Alexander Sørloth and Nusa. The absence of Arsenal playmaker Martin Ødegaard through injury will be a huge blow for Norway.

Israel had a pretty good international break in September, even though they lost their last game 5:4 to Italy. Before that clash, the Sky Blue and Whites scored four goals without conceding against Moldova, and the fighting spirit they displayed against Italy will motivate them ahead of their trip to Norway this week.

Dor Peretz scored twice last time, taking his tally for the national team to 9, and the Israeli Premier League midfielder is set to start in the engine room this weekend.

Dan Biton has scored eight times in just six games for Beer Sheva this season and will likely start up front, possibly alongside Manor Solomon and Anan Khalaili.
