We will also give you our Norway v England FIFA World Cup prediction, so continue reading as we predict who is going to make this year’s World Cup semi-final.
🎯 Norway vs England Prediction
In what could be one of the most interesting of the four quarter-finals, our Norway v England FIFA World Cup prediction is for a surprise Norway win with both teams finding the back of the net. That fantastic England win over Mexico was just that, a fantastic victory, but how much it will have taken out of the players will be fascinating to see.
Norway had a less strenuous victory over Brazil, and even though the emotional exertions of such a famous win will have an effect on the team, they may feel like they are in bonus territory now and go out there with nothing to lose against another well-fancied opponent. That makes Norway a very dangerous rival for England given the attacking talent they have at their disposal. They obviously have one of the most lethal goalscorers in the world in Erling Haaland, who will fancy his chances against England’s defence, but they also have Antonio Nusa, who can create danger if given time. As well as that, they have Alexander Sørloth, another powerful striker, and super sub Andreas Schjelderup, who will be keen to start after his match-turning introduction against Brazil.
England possess game-changers also, with Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham scoring 10 goals between them, but we feel Norway can hurt England on the transition through the pace of Haaland and Nusa. It might be a step too far for Norway’s history-makers, but they have shown they can upset an elite opponent, and we think they can do it again.
Norway to win and both teams to score is available at around 6.75 for fans of sports betting, and we think that could be what transpires at the Hard Rock Stadium on July 11th.

🪄 Norway vs England Betting Tips
At this stage of our detailed betting guide we are now going to give you three Norway v England betting tips.
These tips may prove useful to those that have explored our range of free bet offers by taking a look at our dedicated sportsbooks compared in Ireland page. On this page lots of extra information about many of the top betting sites can be found.
- Tip 1: Both Teams To Score: We could be in for a high-scoring affair given the defensive frailties both teams have and the fact that two of the world’s best strikers are on show in Miami. Norway have shown a smart offensive game plan so far, making great use of Erling Haaland, while England’s game plan revolves around Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham. If you think both teams will score, you can get a price of 1.65 with Funbet ahead of the match on July 11th.
- Tip 2: Erling Haaland to score anytime: Norway’s talisman has 7 goals and will fancy his chances of adding to that tally against England defenders he knows very well from his time in the Premier League. If Norway can adequately supply him in Miami, it is hard not to see the Man City powerhouse adding to his tally as he bids to win the Golden Boot in his first World Cup. To back Haaland to score, you can get a price of 2.10 with FestivalPlay on him finding the back of the net at any point.
- Tip 3: Jude Bellingham to score anytime: The Real Madrid star has 4 goals in this World Cup, and given his ability to make well-timed runs into the box and get on the end of crosses and moves, he may prove a bigger threat to Norway’s defence than Harry Kane. If Norway can stop Bellingham from impacting the game, they could go a long way to beating England on July 11th. To bet on Bellingham scoring again against Norway, he is available to bet on at a price of 4.25 with Rabona Sports to find the net at any point.
✨ Norway Squad Form
Norway have created history for their country with their performance in this World Cup. They have reached the last 8 for the first time with Erling Haaland, Ørjan Nyland and Martin Ødegaard leading the way. Stale Solbakken’s double change on the flanks against Brazil was a turning point, with Andreas Schjelderup laying on both goals for Haaland, so the manager may have a decision to make as to who occupies the wide areas for the team against England.
Norway Players to Watch
We will now look at three Norway stars who will be key against England.
- Ørjan Nyland: The keeper was immense as Norway shocked many by beating Brazil. He saved a first-half Bruno Guimarães penalty, as well as pulling off a number of top-class saves as his country reached their first-ever World Cup quarter-final.
- Martin Ødegaard: The captain is vital to how Norway moves the ball forward and has already laid on three goals for his teammates in this year’s competition. He will come up against some familiar faces in the quarter-final, but his nation needs him to be at his creative best to book a semi-final place.
- Erling Haaland: What a World Cup the Manchester City star is having. 7 goals already, with his brace against Brazil showing two different sides to one of the best centre-forwards in the world. Given England’s defensive issues, he may be licking his lips at the prospect of what’s to come in Miami.
🧨 England Squad Form
England have been a bit up and down so far, but their performance against Mexico was certainly a positive display. To face that crowd and the altitude in the way they did deserves credit and has definitely put them in a positive frame of mind for the rest of the tournament. Jude Bellingham was exceptional as England claimed one of their greatest-ever World Cup victories. They defended ferociously in the closing stages to win the match and will need to be defensively vigilant once more coming up against Haaland.
England Players to Watch
Below are three players that could be crucial for England as they bid to make the semi-final.
- Declan Rice: The Arsenal midfielder will be key wherever he plays. If he is in midfield, he will have to stop his Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard from supplying Haaland, while if he is at right back, he will have to watch Antonio Nusa and help Bukayo Saka down the right.
- Jude Bellingham: What a player the Real Madrid star is. England needed a hero in this tournament to make it through to this stage, and he has certainly been that. His attacking skills are not in doubt, with 4 goals and an assist to his name, but it is his work rate and defensive displays that have been as impressive.
- Harry Kane: If England are going to beat Norway, it is up to Bellingham and star striker Harry Kane to supply the goals. He has 6 so far in this competition to make it 14 overall for the FC Bayern forward at World Cups, and he will be critical if England are to get through.
🥇 Norway vs England Predicted Lineups
With regard to the potential Norway v England lineups, below you can find the starting teams that Stale Solbakken and Thomas Tuchel put out against Brazil and Mexico in their respective last 16 clashes. England may have an issue at right back given Reece James’ fitness issues and the fact Jarrel Quansah got a red card against Mexico. That may mean some players shifting around as the England manager looks to come up with a plan to combat Haaland.
