Norway vs Israel prediction
Under the management of former Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Stale Solbakken, the star studded Norwegians come into this one on the back of having dispatched of Moldova by 11 goals to one last month. Norway have won five from five in qualification, having scored 24 goals and conceded just three.
They now face an Israel side that are in a fascinating tussle to try and topple Italy to finish second in Group F. The Israelis most recently suffered a thrilling 5-4 defeat to the Italians in Hungary last month in a game in which they had led twice, and even pulled themselves back from 4-2 down to 4-4 in the 89th minute.
Israel have been very entertaining to watch and that should continue but Norway are still expected to come out on top in a thrilling encounter in Oslo this weekend.
