The World Cup 2026 qualifying campaign continues on Monday, 9th June 2025, when Estonia welcome Norway to the A. Le Coq Arena in Tallinn. The match kicks off at 19:45 BST (20:45 CEST in Italy, Germany, France and Spain), offering football fans across Europe an early week highlight.
This clash sees an ambitious Estonian side aiming to upset a Norwegian team determined to cement its place at the top of Group C. With crucial points up for grabs, both teams will be looking to strengthen their qualification credentials.
How are both teams coming into this?
Estonia have shown moments of resilience in recent qualifiers but still lack consistency against stronger opposition. Playing at home gives them a boost, and they will look to exploit any opportunities on set pieces or counterattacks.
Norway arrive in Tallinn in good spirits after picking up valuable wins in their opening fixtures. Their attacking unit has been lively, and the visitors will rely on a structured defense to maintain momentum on the road.
Our forecast
We expect Norway to control much of the possession and create the clearer chances, but Estonia’s home atmosphere could frustrate the visitors early on. The opening 20 minutes will be crucial in setting the tone.
Overall, a 2-0 victory for Norway seems the most likely outcome, with both teams contributing at least one shot on target. Expect goals in both halves and a determined display from the hosts.
