Israel vs Estonia Prediction & Betting Tips | 22/03/2025 | Football

Posted on by Matthew Reynolds

Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:

Israel

Israel

Estonia

Estonia

Israel play host to Estonia at Hagyerdei Stadion (Hungary, neutral location) in the opening match of their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign. Israel did remarkably well to beat Belgium in their last UEFA Nations League game and, no doubt, this triumph gave them a confidence boost. A man to watch in the home team will be Leeds United winger Manor Salomon, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line. Maccabi Tel Aviv defender Sagiv Jehezkel has overcome his injury.

The Estonians, on the other hand, were struggling up front in their UEFA Nations League campaign. Given their three-game goalless run in the process, we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Israel’s party in Debrecen. Experienced forward Henri Anier is back from suspension for the visiting team. In their last meeting in a competitive match, Israel rolled over Estonia 4-0.

Prediction:
3-1

Highlighted Team (Israel):

Israel

Israel are the direct successor of the Mandatory Palestine national football team. The Israelis received full UEFA membership in 1994, 20 years after leaving AFC and they have been facing European sides in the World Cup qualifiers ever since. Israel participated at the 1970 FIFA World Cup finals in Mexico, but they failed to make it to the knockout stages of the showpiece tournament.

The Israeli national football team have yet to qualify for the final stages of the European Championship, but they made it to the quarter-finals of the Olympics on two occasions (1968, 1976). Israel play their home games at both Sammy Ofer Stadium in Haifa and Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem.

Yossi Benayoun is the most famous and the most capped Israeli footballer and it has to be noted that the pacey midfielder played for the likes of Racing Santander, West Ham United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea in the past. Israel play their home games in blue shirts and blue shorts, whilst they wear white shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels.
