Norway looks to continue its march toward the World Cup when it hosts Israel on Saturday.
Led by superstar forward Erling Haaland, Norway is atop Group I with a perfect 5W-0D-0L record.
Norway has not qualified for a World Cup since 1998 but appears well positioned to end that drought this time around.
Though Haaland is fit and firing, Ståle Solbakken’s team will have to do without injured captain Martin Ødegaard for this match and Tuesday’s friendly against New Zealand.

Israel comes into this match in third place as it continues chasing a playoff position.
Looking to make its first World Cup since 1970, Israel’s hopes were dented last month in a wild 5-4 loss to Italy that featured a stoppage-time winner from Sandro Tonali.

Israel has proven to be a tough matchup for even the biggest European countries of late, drawing France and tying Belgium last fall. But an in-form Norway side led by Haaland should be too much at home.
