As well as Estonia and Moldova, Israel will also play against Norway and the team that loses the play-offs of the Nations League. This could be a very strong opponent, so it will be difficult for Israel to finish in the top two of the group.
Israel played in Division A of the Nations League, but did not do well there, coming last in their group with Italy, France and Belgium. They won only four points in six rounds, losing four games and drawing one.
Estonia
The Estonian team was losing in the C division of the Nations League, but surprisingly managed to stay there.The Estonians were ahead of the Azerbaijan team with 4 points and one point against their opponents, but lost significantly to the leaders of the group, Slovakia, and Sweden.
In general, the Estonian national team is currently ranked 123rd in the world by FIFA, and the team is led by Jürgen Henn.
