Oct 11 - Norway vs. Israel: Norway leads the group by a wide margin.
Estonia vs. Italy - Italy favored.

Oct 14 — Italy vs. Israel - Italy won 5-4 in the previous encounter.

Nov 13 - Moldova vs. Italy - Italy favored.

Nov 16 - Israel vs. Moldova - Israel favored.
Italy vs. Norway - Norway leads the group.

I don’t quite understand the rankings for a wild card. There are 12 groups. The top team in each group gets a bid to the World Cup, then the 12 second place teams plus 4 wild cards compete for the final 4 slots.

Still possible if Israel ties Italy and beat Moldova then they will advance in a playoff game in order to qualify for the World Cup.
