Norway vs. England Predictions

• When: Saturday, July 11, 11 pm CET
• Where: Hard Rock Stadium, Miami, Florida

The big derby between Norway and England highlights the World Cup quarterfinals. Both teams have displayed fantastic football, and the upcoming matchup shouldn’t be anything less than fantastic. Norway presented itself as arguably one of the biggest surprises in the tournament. Meanwhile, the English side is among the favorites to win the title. All this promises a spectacle.

Norway vs. England Preview

Norway

Erling Haaland sent Brazil home with two hits in the Round of 16. It was 2-1 for the Norwegian side, which deserved to win. Many will say that Brazil had better chances, but we have to add that Norway had a couple of opportunities of their own, as well as one disallowed goal.

This is a team with a winning mentality, composure, and stability. We’ve seen them stay calm under pressure and respond to adversity on the field.

Also, Norway plays interesting, exciting football with plenty of opportunities. Only one of their last 10 games ended with goals on both sides of the field. Meanwhile, when we look at more recent matches, apart from both teams netting, over 2.5 goals have occurred in the past 5.

England

The Three Lions have survived Mexico City, the high altitude, the hosts, and a red card. We can extend the list, but you pretty much all got the clear picture here. Sure, the Mexicans pressured them in the final part of the game, but the defense survived everything.

This was the 5th time in the last 6 matches that this team scored two or more goals. It’s something we need to mention because plenty of pundits and fans say England relies too much on defense. Now, that all goes down the drain after all these stats.

We aren’t saying that Tuchel’s team is offensive-minded; that’s not true at all. But simply, they have a deadly attack, with Kane leading the way, where pretty much every chance is converted into a goal.

Norway vs. England Predictions

Both sides have fantastic attacks, and their chance-to-goal conversion ratio is excellent. Norway has Haaland, England has Kane, and to be honest, we can’t tell which one is in better shape. Even though England is the favorite here, we won’t bet on it to win or advance to the semis; we’ll focus on goals. Our pick is Over 2.5 goals, as we strongly believe in high efficiency.

Our verdict: Over 2.5 goals
