Norway vs. England World Cup Preview
Norway Stats & Team News
Erling Haaland is the best striker on Earth right now. All he needed were two chances against Brazil to showcase his incredible talent. No matter what the readers think, Norway deserved to reach the quarterfinals, and that’s a fact.
In 9 of Norway’s last 10 games, both teams scored. The previous five were all BTTS and over 2.5 goals, meaning their matches were super interesting.
Likely Lineup: Nyland; Pedersen, Ajer, Heggem, Wolfe; Odegaard, Berge, Berg; Sorloth, Haaland, Nusa
England Stats and Team News
Jude Bellingham stepped up against Mexico, reminding everyone about his quality, with two goals and a perfect performance. Real’s superstar was the best English player in a game where the Three Lions had one fewer player on the pitch for more than half an hour.
The English scoring potential is excellent. Kane and the boys delivered two or more goals in 5 of the latest 6 contests. Many believe the defense is Tuchel’s primary weapon, but over time, that seems less and less true.
Likely Lineup: Pickford; Spence, Konsa, Guehi, O’Reilly; Rice, Anderson; Saka, Bellingham, Gordon; Kane
Head to Head
The last meeting was in 2014 and friendly, where England won, 1-0.
Norway vs. England World Cup Predictions
We have a feeling that this matchup won’t be about tactics and a cautious approach. Norway wants to play football and wants to attack, and we saw that against Brazil. On the other hand, England scores plenty of goals; we already stated that. As soon as the first goal takes place, and we think that should happen in the first 45 minutes, we should see an interesting and open matchup. Because of all this, we pick 2.5 hits.
