Estonia and Israel square off in Tallinn on Friday looking to build on the positive start they have made to their qualifying campaign for the 2026 World Cup. Both nations have accumulated three points from their opening two matches in Group I, albeit still knowing that they can ill-afford dropped points in this encounter if they wish to make a sustained attempt to qualify.

Having avoided relegation from their UEFA Nations League group and remaining in League C, Estonia entered World Cup qualifying with a certain level of optimism.
Collecting four points from a double-header with Azerbaijan proved to be the difference, and they would lead Israel during the early stages of the reverse fixture back in March.
However, Israel bounced back to record a 2-1 victory in Debrecen to take the initiative in Group I when favourites Italy were focused on Nations League matters.
To Estonia's credit, though, they got back to winning ways in a five-goal thriller in Moldova, taking a 2-0 lead by the half-hour mark before eventually closing out a 3-2 victory.
As a result, Jurgen Henn's side go into home games with Israel and Norway with the opportunity to build on that success, even though they will ultimately be viewed as underdogs as they bid to stay in second spot.
Estonia host Israel in the race for World Cup qualification, with both sides having three points from their two games so far.
Israel are favourites for this one, priced at 1.44 whilst Estonia can be backed at 7.0.
The bookies have under 2.5 goals as slight favourite at 1.75, whilst over 2.5 is 1.95, which is a little surprising given the meeting between the two sides in March went over 2.5 (a 2-1 win for Israel).
Estonia are currently 2nd in the group, one place and one goal above Israel in 3rd. The hosts won in Moldova last time out, whilst Israel lost at home to Norway.
