Discover what our experts are predicting, as well as the probable line-ups expected for this exciting encounter.

Norway vs. England - Head-to-head record

Norway and England have met 8 times previously. In their head-to-head record, England hold a clear advantage with three wins. Norway have won twice, and three matches ended in a draw.

For this match,  there’s no use looking at the home/away record, as this Norway vs. England fixture will take place on a neutral ground. The last game was played more than 11 years ago, so the result depends more on the coaches’ tactics and the current teams’ form.

Norway - Riding a wave of confidence

Let’s take a closer look at Norway’s journey to the quarter-finals. We will analyse their current form and recent results for this crucial match against England. Norway has shown strong performance, winning 16 of their last 21 matches and securing four victories in five World Cup games.

Recent form

Norway comes into the quarter-finals with impressive momentum, winning three of their four World Cup matches. Their knockout stage journey included a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Brazil in the Round of 16. Their only tournament loss came against a strong French side, proving they can compete at the highest level.

The attack is led by the prolific Erling Haaland, who has found the back of the net seven times in five appearances. He is supported by the creativity of Martin Ødegaard, who has provided three assists. A significant advantage for the Norwegians is having a fully fit squad, with no players unavailable for this vital game.

The team’s record in the tournament reveals an attacking style, having scored 12 goals so far. However, conceding nine times suggests defensive vulnerabilities that England could exploit. Their confidence will be high after winning all three of their designated away fixtures in the United States.

Results of the last five matches

Probable line-up for Norway

Nyland; Lysaker Heggem, Ajer, Ryerson, Wolfe; Berge, Berg, Ødegaard; Haaland, Schjelderup, Sørloth.

Manager: Ståle Solbakken.

England - Marching on with confidence

Let’s analyse England’s current situation. We will look at their excellent form, recent results in the tournament, and standout players for this quarter-final match.

Recent form

England arrives at the quarter-finals unbeaten in the World Cup, with three wins and a draw from their four matches. Their recent 3-2 victory over Mexico in the Round of 16 was a thrilling encounter that showcased their resilience. This strong tournament form is part of a larger impressive run, as they have won 17 of their last 21 games overall.

The team’s attack has been particularly potent, with Harry Kane leading the charge. The clinical finisher has already found the back of the net six times in the competition. Alongside him, Jude Bellingham has been a standout performer, contributing four goals from midfield and proving to be a decisive player in crucial moments.

However, they will be without the experienced Jordan Henderson, whose broken hand rules him out of the midfield battle. Despite his absence, England’s offensive firepower is undeniable, having scored 11 goals so far. Their unbeaten record in the tournament makes them a formidable opponent for this crucial Norway vs. England quarter-final clash. Still, Livramento and Quansah also won’t be able to play, which may be a bit of a handicap for the Three Lions.

Results of the last five matches

Probable line-up for England

Manager: Thomas Tuchel.
