England have been building towards another deep run throughout this tournament. Thomas Tuchel’s men topped Group L with a perfect record, a 4-2 victory over Croatia, a 2-0 win over Panama and a goalless draw with Ghana.
In the Round of 32, they survived a scare against DR Congo, with Harry Kane scoring a late brace to secure a 2-1 comeback victory.
Then came the drama in Mexico City, Kane’s 96th-minute equaliser and Bellingham’s 118th-minute winner against Mexico, a win that showcased the resilience that defines tournament-winning sides.
Harry Kane has been England’s best player till now, scoring six goals in five matches and becoming England’s all-time leading scorer at the World Cup.
Jude Bellingham has been the creative heartbeat, controlling games from midfield and producing moments of magic when it matters most.
But, Norway have followed a path that has been nothing short of extraordinary. After topping their group. They bounced back with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Ivory Coast in the Round of 32 before producing the performance of their lives against Brazil in the Round of 16.
Erling Haaland scored twice, including a dramatic late strike in the 90th minute, as Norway secured a historic 2-1 victory to eliminate the five-time world champions and book their place in the quarter-finals.
Erling Haaland has been the story of Norway’s campaign. The Manchester City striker has scored six goals in five matches, including the winner against Brazil, and has now scored in 14 consecutive competitive international fixtures.
But England represent a different challenge. Brazil were dominant in possession against Norway, but the Scandinavians defended deep and hit on the counter, a tactic that worked against the five-time champions.
Although, England is more defensive discipline and a better balance between attack and defence. Thomas Tuchel’s side won’t leave the spaces that Brazil did.

Reasons for Norway vs England predictions
Here are our reasons for our Norway vs England prediction and betting tips.
England enter this quarter-final as deserved favourites, priced at 1.63 with bet365, thanks to their new manager, deep squad, and champion-like resilience, they’ve won four of five tournament matches, coming from behind against DR Congo and snatching stoppage-time glory against Mexico.
Harry Kane leads with six goals, while Jude Bellingham continues his meteoric rise in midfield. Yet Norway are no mere underdogs; they’ve already eliminated Brazil to reach their first-ever World Cup quarter-final after a 28-year wait.
Erling Haaland has seven goals, joint-top alongside Mbappé and Messi, and Martin Odegaard provides the creative spark to unsettle any defence.
However, history weighs heavily on the Scandinavians they have never beaten England in a competitive fixture, with England winning seven of twelve meetings, Norway just two.
Ultimately, this clash pivots on the personal duel between Kane and Haaland, two world-class strikers vying to prove their international supremacy.
