Israel vs Norway prediction and betting tips on March 25, 2025
Game Prediction
A match between the national teams of Israel and Norway will take place in the qualification for the World Cup in Europe on March 25, 2025. The Scandinavians are set to win in a nominally away meeting.
Our prediction for the match Israel vs Norway
The Israelis have lost their chance to finally reach the “big” tournament in 2023. They took 15 points, which was not bad, but the problematic opponent, Switzerland, had got 2 points more and finished in 2nd position. And the play-off match, which was held a year ago, ended in a defeat for Iceland. The Norwegians, on the other hand, lost without a chance not only to Spain, but also to Scotland, getting only 11 points.
Still, Solbakken and his teammates finally “shot” in the Nations League. They, together with Austria, Kazakhstan and Slovenia, took 13 points – that was enough to win the quartet. Well, Solomon and the company failed to surprise, finishing their debut at the League A level in last place. Still, the team lost twice, only to the Italians then. There was a 0-0 draw in the game against France, and even a success in the battle against Belgium. One way or another, the team finished only in 3rd place on additional indicators.
Last week, the Israelis hosted Estonia on the neutral field. It started with a goal scored by the opponent, but then it did everything to lose: an own goal and a sending off resulted in a 2-1 score in favour of the nominal hosts.
Odegaard and the company played against Moldova on Saturday in Chisinau. And they simply destroyed the rival, winning with a 5-0 result (it is reasonable to mention that they had scored 4 times before the break).
