Israel's hopes of qualifying for the Euro 2028 tournament have diminished, with their chances dropping by 4.6% since their last match against Ireland in the Nations League. The team currently sits with only one point from a possible nine in their group, making it highly unlikely they will finish in the top two spots needed for a higher seeding in the Euro qualifiers. Austria leads the group with seven points, followed by Kosovo and Ireland with four points each. Israel is in last place with one point and a negative goal difference. According to FMData algorithms, Israel has only a 4.4% chance of securing one of the top two positions, and an 82.2% chance of finishing fourth in their group. Despite these low odds for direct qualification, the Israeli team is still expected to win their playoff match against an opponent from League C to remain in League B of the Nations League. The overall probability of Israel reaching Euro 2028 has fallen from 19.9% to 15.3%, marking one of the steepest declines among European nations.
