Israel: form and statistics

In fact, they continue to fight for a ticket to the World Cup. In the opening four rounds, the Israelis beat the Estonians – 2:1 and 3:1, the Moldovans – 4:0, but lost to the Norwegians – 2:4. So far, this is enough for second place in the Group I standings.

In the first game in September, the Italians defeated the Estonians 5:0, which allowed them to rise to third place in Group I.
