As Estonia welcomes Norway to Tallinn on Monday, hopes of qualifying for their first-ever FIFA World Cup hang by a thread. Despite taking an early lead against Israel on Friday night, the Blueshirts crumbled to a 3-1 defeat — a blow that leaves them three points adrift of the play-off spot in Group I.
For Kenyan football fans and punters, this matchup offers not only drama on the pitch but also exciting betting opportunities on trusted platforms like Bangbet.com.
📉 Estonia’s Home Woes Continue
Estonia have struggled badly on home soil. Since the beginning of 2023, they have won just two home matches, against Azerbaijan and the Faroe Islands (D1, L7). Even more worryingly, they’ve conceded three goals in each of their last two home games, underlining a fragile backline.
Though history offers a faint glimmer of hope — Estonia held Norway to a draw in 2016 and beat them in 2014 — this current squad looks ill-equipped to contain the red-hot Norwegians.
🔥 Norway’s Fiery Form
Ståle Solbakken’s men have exploded into the qualifiers with nine points from their first three matches, including a commanding 3-0 demolition of Italy last Friday. All goals came in the first half — a sign of their aggressive, front-loaded approach.
They’ve already scored more in three games than during the entire qualifying campaigns for 2010 and 2014 — and have matched their tallies from 2002 and 2006.
Norway’s away record is especially intimidating, with 13 goals scored in their last three matches on the road, all wins. Expect a fast-paced, attacking display in Tallinn.
⚔️ Key Players to Watch
Estonia – Mattias Käit
The 25-year-old midfielder scored Estonia’s only goal against Israel. He’s chasing history, looking to score in three consecutive international matches for the first time.
Norway – Martin Ødegaard
The Arsenal playmaker has been on fire, registering five assists in Norway’s first three qualifiers. With Haaland and Sørloth up front, Ødegaard will have plenty of options to aim for.
📊 Hot Stat
Norway has averaged 4.2 goals per game across their last five matches, all of which they’ve won.
