In Group I, the team occupies third place, trailing their upcoming opponents only on tiebreakers.

Estonia vs. Israel: Match Prediction

The teams are already familiar with each other, having faced off in March with Israel emerging victorious 2-1. Notably, Ran Ben Shimon's side dominated in many statistical categories. I believe Israel has a better chance of earning points in this upcoming match.

Israel has been inconsistent on the road in World Cup qualifiers but usually only falters against superior opponents. In the previous qualifying cycle, the team comfortably defeated the Faroe Islands and Moldova away. Estonia, even at home, rarely delights their supporters: in their last 8 World Cup qualifying matches, they have only two wins and six losses.

Additionally, matches involving Israel tend to be high-scoring, with at least two goals scored in the team's last 10 World Cup qualifying games. I expect this trend to continue in the upcoming encounter.

My prediction: Israel will not lose and Total over 1.5 goals
