Israel's U21 national football team will play its final qualifying match for the Euro 2027 championship against Norway on Tuesday evening. The team has a chance to secure a playoff spot for the European Championship.
To advance to the playoffs, Israel must finish second in their group. Norway has already secured first place and direct qualification for the Euros, meaning they have no stake in their match against Israel. Israel currently sits in second place with 10 points and a goal difference of 0. The group standings show Norway in first with 16 points, followed by Israel, then Netherlands (9 points), Bosnia (7 points), and Slovenia (5 points).
The scenarios for Israel's qualification depend on their result and the outcome of the match between the Netherlands and Bosnia. A win for Israel guarantees a playoff spot regardless of other results. A draw for Israel, combined with a draw or a win for Bosnia in the other match, also secures qualification. However, if Israel draws and the Netherlands wins, Israel will be eliminated. If Israel loses, qualification depends on the Netherlands-Bosnia game; a Dutch win eliminates Israel, while a draw or a Bosnian win (provided Bosnia's goal difference doesn't surpass Israel's) would see Israel advance.
