Venue: Ullevaal Stadium (Oslo).

Norway will host Israel in a friendly on Wednesday as the two sides prepare for the final round of the Nations League.

It was an encouraging start to the UEFA Nations League for Norway, who have three rebounds after their Matchday XNUMX loss to Austria.

In the last three games they have scored 10 times and Erling Haaland is at the center of things as he has scored 5 of them.

Israel has had a difficult start to the campaign and has only managed 5 points from 4 games so far. But they still have a chance of winning the group if results elsewhere are in their favour.

The damage was done by the 1-2 defeat to the Czech Republic, which came days after the important Euro qualifier against Scotland. They are 5 points behind the Scots, but the second-placed Czechs are by a single point.

However, they responded well by beating Slovakia 3-2 after trailing 2-0 until the 68th minute. It was an inspiring display from Eran Zahavi, who scored a solo hattrick and, most importantly, 3 points for his team.

Be warned that these teams haven't played a friendly in over 2 years. Norway's last friendly was in June 2018 against Panama, while Israel's last friendly was in November of the same year against Guatemala.

The only two-hour clash between Norway and Israel took place in January 1999, also a friendly, won 1-0 by the Scandinavians.

Norway vs Israel Prediction

Both teams are in good form and if they start with their strongest eleven, a festival of goals awaits. But this is an unlikely scenario, with teams set to complete two games to conclude the UEFA Nations League on the 19th of this month.

So the fans and their nerves will be disappointed and we expect a cold and dull match at the Ullevaal Stadion.

It also means that companies like Haaland, Zahavi or Dabuur are unlikely to start on Wednesday.

Therefore, under 2,5 goals with a price of 2,10 odd is the most optimal option for this match.

We cannot pick a clear winner as we maintain that the outcome of this match is unimportant and therefore advise readers not to do the same.
