Match Preview
Norway welcome Estonia to the Ullevaal Stadion, Oslo, on 13 November 2025 for a pivotal World Cup 2026 qualifying clash in UEFA Group I. With a direct path to the finals in sight, Norway’s plan will be to impose control early through sustained possession, quick combinations around the box, and relentless pressing after loss. Estonia, meanwhile, are set to prioritize compact distances, disciplined rest-defense, and rapid counters into the channels when the chance appears.
Norway’s recent qualifiers highlight a well-drilled press and set-piece threat, complemented by decisive finishing up front. The full-backs provide width, while midfield recycling keeps the tempo high and opponents pinned. Estonia have shown grit throughout the campaign and typically remain organized deep, looking to spring forward in transition or from well-rehearsed dead-ball situations. If Estonia can keep the scoreline level deep into the second half, anxiety can creep into any favorite so concentration on both second balls and defensive transitions will be decisive for Norway.
Expect Norway to dominate territory and shots; Estonia’s chances likely hinge on quick breaks, winning duels in wide areas, and capitalizing on any set-piece opportunities. The early goal narrative looms large if Norway score first, their control could snowball; if not, the visitors’ resilience may turn this into a tighter affair.
