Head-to-Head

Norway and England have never met in a competitive game; however, they have played in two friendly matches together, with England winning both.

In 2012, the nations met in Oslo, where the Three Lions would win 1-0 thanks to an Ashley Young goal.

Two years later, the sides met again at Wembley. England would again win 1-0, with Wayne Rooney scoring a penalty in the second half.

Key Stats

  • This quarter final is the first World Cup quarter final that Norway have ever played in.
  • This is England’s third World Cup quarter final in a row.
  • Norway’s Erling Haaland has seven goals this tournament, level with Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi for the golden boot.
  • England’s Jude Bellingham has scored 70% of his international goals at major international tournaments.

Norway vs England Picks

Norway is no slouch. England may come into the game as favourites, but Norway has weapons all over the pitch and none more potent than Erling Haaland. The Manchester City striker is key to all that happens in this game.

England have overcome every challenge so far, but stopping Haaland and his mates will be the biggest one yet. The Three Lions will need yet another special performance to return to the semifinals.

I’m taking England to win this game by a single goal.

Other markets include Harry Kane to score, Erling Haaland to have to or more shots on goal and Jude Bellingham to get booked.
