Norway vs England Prediction & Betting Tips | 11 July 2026

Match Preview

Get ready for an electric atmosphere at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami as Norway and England battle it out in the World Cup quarter-finals. Norway delivered a shock result in the last 16, overcoming Brazil 2-1, with Erling Haaland netting a brace late on to secure the Scandinavians' spot in the final eight. From Benfica, Andreas Schjelderup and Fredrik Aursnes are strong contenders for starting berths after making a significant impact from the bench against Brazil. While Norway boast six wins from their last ten outings across all competitions, averaging 2.1 goals per game, it’s worth remembering they didn't create clear-cut chances until Haaland's 79th-minute opener against Brazil. England, on the other hand, narrowly overcame tournament hosts Mexico with a 3-2 victory in a pulsating last-16 clash. The Three Lions will be missing defender Jarell Quansah due to suspension following his red card, but Reece James is anticipated to be back, bolstering the defence. Harry Kane has been England's star man at the 2026 World Cup, having already scored six goals, and he'll pose the primary threat to Norway's backline once more. England have emerged victorious in seven of their last ten fixtures, conceding only 0.7 goals per game, which positions them as slight favourites to advance, despite Norway's strong recent form. Given England's superior squad depth and greater experience in high-stakes knockout ties, we're leaning towards an Away Win, coupled with Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 Goals. Norway have seen Both Teams to Score land in nine of their last ten matches, and both sides possess potent attacking talent. This World Cup 2026 fixture is scheduled for Saturday 11 July 2026, kicking off at 22:00.
