High-flying Norway will look to keep their 100% record intact in Group I when they welcome Israel to Ullevaal Stadion. Stale Solbakken made a perfect start to their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign, with Man City ace Erling Haaland already netting nine goals in the process and, as a result, the bookies see them as hot favourites to win Saturday’s clash. You should bear in mind, though, that Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard misses out with a knee injury. Israel, meanwhile, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-4 loss to Italy in September and given Norway’s eight-game winning run in all competitions, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. To make things even worse for the away team, Twente defender Stav Lemkin continues to miss out through injury. Earlier in the process, Norway recorded a routine 4-2 win over Israel.
