Team Analysis
First meets second in Tuesday's World Cup 2026 Qualifying Group I showdown, as Israel and Norway seek to maintain their 100% starts at the former's adopted home in Debrecen, Hungary.

The top two sides collide at the Nagyerdei Stadion, where the 'hosts' saw off Estonia 2-1 on Saturday, while their Scandinavian counterparts hit Moldova for five without reply.

Norway's five-star performance against Moldova was not entirely perfect for head coach Solbakken, as centre-back Leo Ostigard suffered an injury in the first half and had to be withdrawn prematurely.

The severity of the defender's concern is not known at this stage, but Torbjorn Heggem is on standby to partner Brentford's Kristoffer Ajer if Ostigard does not make the cut.

As Haaland continues to streak clear at the top of Norway's men's scoring charts, Sorloth is just one strike away from matching Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Tore Andre Flo's tallies of 23 for the national team.

Meanwhile, Israel came out of their victory over Estonia with no new concerns to report, although veteran defender Miguel Vitor and midfield duo Dia Saba and Dolev Haziza all withdrew before the opening game.

After finally scoring his first goal for his country at the 66th time of asking, 32-year-old Dasa wears the captain's armband from right-back again; Leeds United's on-loan Tottenham Hotspur winger Manor Solomon set up the skipper's strike.

Also pulling the strings in attack will be Oscar Gloukh, the 20-year-old Red Bull Salzburg playmaker who has apparently attracted glances from the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal.

Israel possible starting lineup:
Peretz; Dasa, Nachmias, Shlomo, Revivo; Jaber, Abu Fani; Biton, Gloukh, Solomon; David

Norway possible starting lineup:
Nyland; Ryerson, Heggem, Ajer, Donnum; Odegaard, Berge, Aasgaard; Sorloth, Haaland, Schjelderup
