FIFA World Cup 2026 Prediction: Norway vs England (12-07-2026)

Norway and England meet in the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-finals at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.

England arrive as favourites, but Norway have already exceeded expectations by eliminating Brazil in the previous round and now possess one of the tournament’s most dangerous attacking weapons in Erling Haaland.

Norway have been one of the most entertaining teams at the FIFA World Cup 2026.

They scored four against Iraq, three against Senegal, found the net against France despite losing 4-1 and then stunned Brazil 2-1 in the Round of 16.

Erling Haaland has been the driving force behind that run, leading the Golden Boot race with seven goals after scoring twice against Brazil.

While Norway continue to create plenty of chances, they have also conceded in four of their five FIFA World Cup matches.

England have been equally convincing going forward.

Thomas Tuchel’s side defeated Croatia 4-2, beat Panama 2-0 and DR Congo 2-1 before edging Mexico 3-2 in one of the most entertaining Round of 16 ties.

Jude Bellingham scored twice against Mexico, while Harry Kane added another goal from the penalty spot to move to six goals for the tournament.

The defensive picture also favours a both-teams-to-score selection.

Norway have allowed goals regularly despite progressing to the quarter-finals, while England will be without defender Jarell Quansah after his red card against Mexico.

Losing an important defender against a striker in Haaland’s current form is far from ideal.

With both attacks producing consistently throughout the tournament and neither defence looking completely secure, backing Both Teams to Score stands out as the strongest betting angle rather than choosing a winner.
