Norway vs Estonia prediction: Drillos to get the better of Blueshirts
Key stats
- Norway have lost just one of their last 10 competitive fixtures (W9).
- They have claimed six clean sheets across their last eight victories.
- Estonia are winless in five straight World Cup 2026 qualifiers (D1, L4).
- The Blueshirts have scored in five of their seven WCQ fixtures this campaign.
Correct score prediction: Norway 3-0 Estonia
Stale Solbakken’s Norway are one of three nations with an impressive 100% win rate this World Cup qualification campaign, netting 29 and conceding just three in their six games so far. Their first World Cup appearance since France 1998, when they made it to the Round of 16, is only a victory away.
Estonia, on the other hand, have already been dealt their fate, as they remain just three points above bottom-placed Moldova – the only team they’ve beaten this campaign. Jurgen Henn’s men have little to play for other than pride.
Norway are clear favourites coming into this clash – this evening at Oslo's Ullevaal Stadion is expected to be special, as they confirm their presence at the 2026 World Cup.

Player to watch: Erling Haaland
Manchester City marksman Erling Haaland is in stunning form, finding the back of the net in 15 of his last 16 appearances for club and country, including five goals and two assists in the match against Moldova alone. The Norwegian forward is clearly the mightiest threat on the pitch for Estonia to deal with.
