Team Reviews
Estonia (Rank 121, 3rd in Group I, 3 points)
Form: 1W-0D-2L; recent 2-3 loss to Moldova, 1-3 loss to Israel. Only win was 3-2 vs. Moldova (Mattias Käit 70’).
Strengths: Playing at A. Le Coq Arena, Tallinn, Estonia’s defensive 5-4-1 under coach Jürgen Henn leverages home crowd energy. Käit’s midfield drive and Alex Tamm’s finishing (1 goal vs. Moldova) offer hope. Full squad fitness reported, per Khel Now.
Weaknesses: Defensive frailties (8 goals conceded in 3 qualifiers). Winless in last 3 H2Hs vs. Norway (D2-L1). Reduced to 10 men vs. Israel (Markus Soomets red card), exposing discipline issues. Limited attacking output (4 goals in 3 matches).
Key Players: Käit, Tamm, Maksim Paskotsi (defense).
Norway (Rank 44, 1st in Group I, 9 points)
Form: 3W-0D-0L; recent 3-0 win vs. Italy (Antonio Nusa, Alexander Sørloth, Erling Haaland), 4-2 vs. Israel, 5-0 vs. Moldova. Unbeaten in last 7 competitive matches.
Strengths: Ståle Solbakken’s 4-3-3 boasts Europe’s top striker, Erling Haaland (41 international goals, including vs. Italy), and Martin Ødegaard’s playmaking (hat-trick of assists vs. Israel). Strong attack (12 goals in 3 qualifiers). Depth with Sørloth and Nusa.
Weaknesses: Injuries to Erik Botheim and Stian Gregersen weaken depth, per Khel Now. Defensive lapses (2 goals conceded vs. Israel). First away qualifier since March adds travel factor.
Key Players: Haaland, Ødegaard, Nusa.
Head-to-Head Analysis
Record: 4 matches since 1992; Norway won 1 (3 goals), Estonia won 0 (0 goals), 3 draws. Last meetings: 0-0 draws (2012, 2004 friendlies), 1-0 Norway (1998 friendly).
Trends: Low-scoring games (3 of 4 under 2.5 goals). Estonia held Norway scoreless in 2 of last 3 H2Hs, showing defensive resilience. Norway’s sole win was narrow (1-0).
Prediction: Estonia 0-2 Norway
Group I clash at A. Le Coq Arena, Tallinn (8:45 PM CET). Norway, perfect with 9 points, aims to secure direct qualification. Estonia, with 3 points, seeks an upset to climb from third. Group I includes Italy, Israel, and Moldova; the winner qualifies directly, runners-up enter playoffs. Matchday 4 of 10, per UEFA. Norway’s attacking firepower (12 goals in 3 games) and Haaland’s form overwhelm Estonia’s defense, which conceded 8 goals in 3 matches. Estonia’s home grit and past H2H draws (0-0) suggest they can frustrate, but Norway’s depth and Ødegaard’s creativity should break through. Social media (@UEFAEURO, @KFF_Team) favors Norway heavily, predicting a 2-0 or 3-0 win. Norway’s 3-0 rout of Italy and 4-2 vs. Israel show their scoring prowess, while Estonia’s defensive issues (8 goals conceded) and low attack (4 goals) limit their chances. Haaland or Nusa likely scores, and Norway’s 61% possession vs. Israel suggests control. A clean sheet aligns with Estonia’s failure to score in 3 of 4 H2Hs.
