Israel vs. Norway: Match Prediction

Norway easily overcame Estonia in the last round. With attacking players like Ødegaard, Haaland, and Sørloth, the team is not intimidated by any opponent's defense. If the opponent's defense lacks reliability, another goal fest from the Scandinavians can be expected.

Israel has a 7-match streak of conceding goals in World Cup qualifiers. In five of those matches, the team conceded at least two goals. Moreover, at home, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 14 consecutive matches in this tournament.

In away World Cup qualifiers, Norway has scored 20 goals in their last 7 matches. In their last three official matches, the Norwegians scored 14 goals. Stopping such a potent attacking force will be very challenging. My prediction: Norway Individual Total Over 1.5
