Norway vs Estonia Match Prediction & Analysis
Norway edge closer to sealing their FIFA World Cup 2026 qualification as they host Estonia at the Ullevaal Stadium in Oslo, with kickoff set for 10:30 PM IST on November 13. Unbeaten so far and powered by the red-hot Erling Haaland, the Norwegians will fancy their chances of another routine win. Estonia, already out of the playoff race, have only pride left to fight for — and their coach may well use this stage to hand opportunities to players eager to make a statement.
Current Standings: Norway sit comfortably atop Group I with a perfect 18 points from six games, while Estonia trail in fourth with just four points — and having played one match more than the leaders.
Head-to-head Record: Across their five meetings, Norway have had the edge, winning twice and drawing once against Estonia.
Teams Preview
Norway Preview
Norway are closing in on their first FIFA World Cup appearance since France 1998, and with six wins from six — in a group that includes former champions Italy — they look nearly unstoppable. At this point, it would take a monumental collapse to deny the Northmen direct qualification. One more win should all but seal it, with their staggering +26 goal difference offering a hefty cushion even if they stumble against Italy later. Italy, three points behind, simply can’t match that margin.
Erling Haaland has been nothing short of lethal, smashing 12 goals in six qualifiers — accounting for 10 of Norway’s last 19 strikes. The Manchester City star enters this fixture in peak form too, fresh off scoring his 13th goal of the season in the league against Liverpool in City’s 3-1 victory.
Team News
Norway will, however, be missing their influential captain Martin Ødegaard, with the midfield maestro sidelined through injury for the Estonia clash.
Norway Probable Starting Lineups: Nyland (GK); Ryerson, Ajer, Heggem, Wolfe; Oscar Bobb, Berge, Thorsby; Sørloth, Haaland, Antonio Nusa.
Estonia Preview
Eliminated from the World Cup race, the Sinisärgid will aim to finish their campaign on a positive note. Their narrow one-goal defeat to Norway earlier in the qualifiers should offer some belief that they can at least snatch a point this time. However, their recent form — a draw with Moldova preceded by four straight losses — paints a tougher picture. Manager Jürgen Henn will need something special if Estonia are to leave Oslo with anything.
Estonia are likely to stay compact, relying on counters and set pieces to trouble Norway. Up front, the experienced Henri Anier remains their key outlet — working tirelessly to hold up play and spark what few breakaway chances they can create.
Team News
Estonia will be without centre-back Joonas Tamm due to injury, while goalkeeper Matvei Igonen is unavailable for personal reasons. As a result, Nõmme Kalju’s Henri Perk will guard the sticks versus Norway.
Estonia Probable Starting Lineups: Henri Perk (GK); Schjonning-Larsen, Paskotsi, Kuusk, Saliste; Soomets, Shein; Yakovlev, Kait, Sinyavskiy; Henri Anier
NORWAY vs ESTONIA
Winning PredictionEstonia face a daunting task on Thursday. Norway have been flawless at the Ullevaal this campaign, winning all three home qualifiers, scoring freely with Haaland leading the charge, and conceding just once on home soil. With only three goals allowed across the entire campaign, the hosts look almost untouchable. All signs point to Norway cruising to a seventh straight win — and sealing their spot at the 2026 World Cup.
