European Qualifiers Predictions: World Cup 2026: 25/03/25
Will Norway maintain their momentum when they face Israel away from home? The Norwegians started their qualification for the 2026 World Cup with an emphatic 5-0 win over Moldova away from home; now they come up against a stronger opponent in Israel.
North Macedonia and Wales will dig it out in round two, as the Czech Republic takes on Gibraltar away from home.
This week’s European World Cup 2026 predictions were based on current form, data, and expert knowledge.
European World Cup 2026 Qualifiers predictions: 25/03/2025
The Czech Republic to maintain their winning form: Gibraltar vs Czech Republic
- Date: 25/03/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Gibraltar are in poor form, and expecting them to avoid a defeat against a Czech Republic team that hasn’t lost a game in recent attempts is a stretch.
Both countries haven’t met in a competitive game, so we checked their recent performances and came out with an idea. The visitors are unbeaten in six matches, winning four and drawing one, so we expect them to continue from where they left off against Faroe Island because the hosts are in poor form.
Gibraltar vs Czech Republic prediction: Away team to win
Montenegro and Faroe Islands will struggle in the attacking half: Montenegro vs Faroe Island
- Date: 25/03/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Matches involving either team don’t always produce many goals, and we guess the upcoming game may follow suit.
At least three goals were scored in both countries’ first European World Cup Qualifiers matches, but this game may lack goals because the Faroe Islands rarely concede and score many goals. Five of their last seven competitive matches ended with under 2.5 goals, and because the hosts are not in great shape, there’s a decent chance the upcoming game may be uneventful.
Montenegro vs Faroe Island prediction: Under 2.5 goals
North Macedonia and Wales to exchange goals: North Macedonia vs Wales
- Date: 25/03/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Both teams are in fine form, so we expect them to fight for the three points.
Both teams are unbeaten after seven matches, but North Macedonia are in better form, winning six in the process. Wales are the stronger side, but having failed to keep a clean sheet against Kazakhstan in front of their fans, we expect them to struggle defensively away.
North Macedonia vs Wales prediction: Both teams to score - yes
At least two goals will be scored: Liechtenstein vs Kazakhstan
- Date: 25/03/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Neither team is in fine form, and it will take more than a miracle for either team to win the encounter, but goals can be expected.
Liechtenstein and Kazakhstan have performed badly in recent matches, having failed to win any of their last five competitive matches. However, at least two goals can be expected from this game, thanks to matches involving Kazakhstan.
Liechtenstein vs. Kazakhstan prediction: Over 1.5 goals
Moldova to avoid a defeat in front of their fans: Moldova vs Estonia
- Date: 25/03/2025
- Kick-off: 18:00
- Both teams may have started with defeats, but Moldova are in better form to command a win.
Moldova succumbed to a 5-0 home defeat to Norway, and it will be improper if they fall short against a struggling Estonia side in front of their fans again. Having won two of their last three competitive matches, we expect the hosts to get a win or draw in the upcoming game.
Moldova vs Estonia prediction: Home team to win or draw
Israel and Norway to entertain fans with goals: Israel vs Norway
- Date: 25/03/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Matches involving either team usually produce many goals, and we expect the upcoming game to end similarly.
Israel beat Estonia 2-1, while Norway thrashed Moldova 5-0 away. Three or more goals were scored in their opening European WC Qualifiers matches. Both teams are likely to exchange goals and can also score 2+ goals. There is no reason not to anticipate three or more goals from this game.
