Norway vs England Preview & Tips
Norway are on the cusp of a World Cup semi-final, with the side eliminating Brazil in a stunning 2-1 win in the last round.
England secured an astounding 3-2 win over Mexico in the last round as the side came through playing much of the second-half with 10 men.
- England are yet to lose at the 2026 World Cup (W4, D1)
- Erling Haaland has scored seven goals at the competition
- Harry Kane has scored six goals at the tournament
Head To Head
The pair have met eight times before with England winning three matches, Norway winning twice and three games ending as draws.
Norway Form
Norway have been excellent at the 2026 World Cup, losing just one of their opening five matches and winning four times.
Their sole loss came against France in a 4-1 defeat in their final group game. However, it is worth noting that this defeat came as Norway rested their key players after securing their spot in the knockout stages with a game to come.
Alongside this loss, Norway have beaten Iraq, Senegal, Ivory Coast and Brazil. All five of their matches have seen both teams score, with the Norwegians yet to keep a clean sheet at the tournament. Erling Haaland's seven goals have ensured that Norway's lack of clean sheets has not been an issue, and I back the Manchester City star to continue to find the back of the net.
England Form
England have built well from their 0-0 draw with Ghana in their second game, with the Three Lions storming to three consecutive victories.
Wins over Panama (2-0) and DR Congo (2-1) led to their superb 3-2 win over Mexico in a game few England fans will forget. While they did concede twice, they were able to outscore an opponent that had not conceded a single goal across their previous four outings.
Harry Kane continues to terrorise opposition backlines, with the forward hitting the back of the net six times. His battle with Haaland may yet prove the difference between the two sides in a clash that could prove to be a classic World Cup meeting.
England have been excellent across the tournament and are yet to taste defeat. While I predict they will concede for the third consecutive time, I am backing them to edge into a World Cup semi-final.
Verdict
I am backing both Haaland and Kane to find the back of the net as England edge past Norway in an enthralling clash.
