Israel's chances of qualifying for the Euro 2028 tournament have decreased, with current projections showing a 15.3% likelihood, down from 19.9%. This represents one of the steepest declines in qualification probability among European nations.
The Israeli national team currently has only one point from three matches in the UEFA Nations League, placing them last in their group. Austria leads with seven points, followed by Kosovo and Ireland with four points each. Israel's sole point and a goal difference of minus five contribute to their low standing.
According to FMData algorithms, Israel has only a 4.4% chance of finishing in the top two of their Nations League group, which would grant them a spot in the second tier of Euro qualifiers. The team is projected to finish fourth in their group with an 82.2% probability.
Despite the bleak outlook for direct qualification, coach Ran Ben Shimon's team is still expected to win their playoff match against an opponent from League C to remain in League B of the Nations League. However, the overall probability of reaching Euro 2028 has fallen by 4.6% since their last match against Ireland.
