Norway vs Estonia: prediction & betting odds 13 November 2025

The Matchday 9 clash in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers between Norway and Estonia will take place on November 13 at the Ullevaal Stadium in Oslo. Norway vs. Estonia: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Norway

In their last match, Norway thrashed Israel 5-0 at home. Ståle Solbakken's side has won all six matches in this qualifying cycle, keeping clean sheets in four of them. As a result, the Scandinavians have secured a top-two spot in Group I, and a victory in the upcoming game, combined with Italy dropping points in their parallel fixture, will guarantee them the top spot. A draw might suffice if Italy loses. Notably, Norway boasts the best scoring record among all European qualifiers with 29 goals.

• Forward Erling Haaland has scored in nine consecutive official matches for the national team.
• At least one team failed to score in seven of Norway's last nine World Cup qualifying matches.
• At home in this tournament, the Scandinavians have won five of their last six matches (1 draw).

Predicted lineup for Norway (4-3-3)

Ørjan Nyland – Leo Østigård, David Møller Wolfe, Julian Ryerson, Kristoffer Ajer – Oscar Bobb, Patrick Berg, Sander Berge – Erling Haaland, Alexander Sørloth, Antonio Nusa.

Midfielder Martin Ødegaard is not called up due to injury.

Estonia

In their previous match, Estonia shared the spoils with Moldova (1-1) at home, ending a four-game losing streak in World Cup qualifiers. However, the team has conceded in ten consecutive matches in this tournament. Nonetheless, Jürgen Henn's side has found the net in five of their seven matches in the current cycle, but one of the opponents they failed to score against was Norway. Estonia has already lost the chance to fight for a place in the World Cup finals.

• Estonia has conceded at least twice in seven of their last nine World Cup qualifying matches.
• Away in this tournament, the team has lost five of their last seven matches (1 win, 1 draw).
• At least one goal has been scored in both halves in five of Estonia's last seven qualifying matches.

Predicted lineup for Estonia (4-5-1)

Karl Hein – Michael Lilander, Karol Mets, Märten Kuusk, Vlasi Sinjavski – Markus Soomets, Rocco Robert Shein, Martin Miller, Martin Vetkal, Kevin Palumets – Rauno Sappinen.

Defender Joonas Tamm is unavailable due to injury.

Norway vs. Estonia: Match Prediction

In the first round, the Scandinavians secured a 1-0 victory. Estonia has conceded fewer than two goals only twice in this qualifying cycle, making it surprising that one of the teams they managed to hold off was the most prolific team in both the group and the entire qualification. Norway had a significant advantage but was unlucky in the finishing stages. In the other five matches, Solbakken's side scored at least three times. It's also worth highlighting Erling Haaland, the top scorer in this qualifying cycle.

I expect Norway to delight their fans with a bright and convincing victory. In three home matches in this qualifier, the team has scored 19 goals, even thrashing teams like Italy and Israel. Estonia, meanwhile, has lost four of their last five away qualifiers, conceding 14 goals in that span.

My prediction: Norway to win and Total Over 3.5 goals
