Norway- Leo Østigård
England- Bukayo Saka
- Jarell Quansah
Norway and England meet in one of the most anticipated quarter-finals in World Cup history on Saturday. Kick-off is scheduled for 10pm (UK time) on Saturday 11th July at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens.
Norway produced one of the tournament’s greatest upsets by beating Brazil 2-1 in the Round of 16, with Erling Haaland scoring twice to send his nation into a World Cup quarter-final for the first time in their history. England, meanwhile, became the first team in World Cup history to beat Mexico at the Azteca, winning 3-2 despite playing most of the second half with ten men after Jarell Quansah’s red card. The Golden Boot race adds another compelling subplot – Haaland sits level with Messi and Mbappé on seven goals, while Kane carries six. One of those golden ambitions ends in Miami on Saturday.
Norway vs England predictions & betting tips
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orjan Nyland to make 3.5 saves | 1/1 @ 10bet (50%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Nyland was the hero against Brazil, saving Bruno Guimarães’ penalty and making a series of crucial stops that kept Norway alive before Haaland struck late. England carry the most potent attack remaining in the tournament — Kane, Bellingham and Gordon all firing — and will create chances in volume against a Norway backline that has been stretched throughout this competition. Nyland made seven saves against Brazil. England’s relentless pressing and attacking variety will test his reflexes from first to last. Four or more saves for the Nottingham Forest goalkeeper looks a compelling proposition at the available price. |
| Jude Bellingham to score and England to win | 7/2 @ 10bet (22.2%) | ⭐⭐ | Bellingham has been the defining player of England’s tournament, scoring twice in 98 seconds against Mexico and registering six touches inside the Croatian penalty area in the opening group game. He operates with complete freedom in the number ten role and arrives into goalscoring positions better than any midfielder in this competition. Norway’s midfield was given problems by Brazil’s runners and Bellingham’s movement will cause similar difficulties. England have won every game in which Bellingham has scored at this World Cup. At the available combined price, both selections landing simultaneously looks the standout play in Saturday’s quarter-final. |

How both teams head into Norway vs England
Norway
Haaland’s brace against Brazil was a masterclass in clinical finishing – a towering header from Schjelderup’s cross followed by a ferocious left-footed drive from outside the box that sealed Norway’s passage to the last eight for the first time in their history. For a nation that last reached the World Cup in 1998 – when current coach Stale Solbakken was a member of that squad – Saturday’s quarter-final represents a moment of extraordinary historical significance.
Nyland saved Guimaraes’ penalty and made a series of crucial stops to keep Norway alive before Haaland struck in the 79th and 90th minutes. That combination of world-class goalkeeping and devastating individual finishing encapsulates everything about this Norway side – organised, difficult to break down and capable of winning any game when Haaland is on form. Solbakken’s side do not need to dominate matches. They simply need to stay in them until Haaland finds a moment of quality.
Martin Odegaard has orchestrated every Norway attack with calm authority throughout this tournament, creating the openings that Haaland converts. Their partnership carries the same quality as any creative-striker combination at this World Cup. England’s midfield, led by Declan Rice, must win the battle against Odegaard and Sander Berge before Haaland even touches the ball. If Odegaard operates freely, Norway carry a genuine chance of reaching the semi-finals for the first time ever.
England
England produced one of the tournament’s greatest individual performances at the Azteca – Bellingham scored twice in 98 seconds before Kane converted from the penalty spot as England became the first team in World Cup history to beat Mexico at their famous home ground. The red card for Quansah made the final 36 minutes an extraordinary defensive rearguard. Jordan Pickford, Djed Spence and Dan Burn all threw their bodies on the line as England held out for a result that Bellingham called “the best night of my England career.”
England have now reached the quarter-finals in three consecutive World Cups – a feat that underlines the consistency Tuchel and his predecessors have built. The depth of squad available is remarkable. Kane leads the line on six tournament goals, Saka has been England’s most creative wide player, and Bellingham has elevated himself into the conversation of the tournament’s best individual performer.
The big news for England is that Quansah serves a one-match suspension for his red card against Mexico. Tuchel must restructure his defensive options in Miami, with Ezri Konsa expected to shift across. Additionally, Jordan Henderson was taken to hospital with a wrist injury suffered in the post-match celebrations against Mexico and his availability for Saturday requires confirmation.
Norway team news
Norway were boosted for the Brazil game by the return of Julien Ryerson, the Borussia Dortmund defender fit again after missing the previous two matches with a thigh injury. His fitness ahead of Saturday’s quarter-final adds welcome defensive depth to Solbakken’s options at right-back, though his ability to complete 90 minutes in Miami’s humidity requires monitoring.
Orjan Nyland continues in goal behind a back four of Ryerson, Kristoffer Ajer, Torbjorn Heggem and David Moller Wolfe. Sander Berge and Patrick Berg are expected in central midfield, with Odegaard pulling strings ahead of them. Andreas Schjelderup, who provided both assists against Brazil, pushes hard to start after his impact from the bench in New Jersey.
Haaland leads the line. No other team news explanation is necessary – he is the most dangerous individual striker remaining in the tournament and arrives at Hard Rock Stadium having scored in each of his last 14 consecutive competitive internationals for Norway.
England team news
Quansah serves a one-match suspension, forcing Tuchel to reorganise at right-back. Ezri Konsa is the most likely replacement at right-back following his composed performance covering that role against Mexico, with John Stones expected to start at right-back. Marc Guehi continues alongside Stones, with Nico O’Reilly providing the left-back option.
Jordan Henderson suffered a wrist injury in the post-match celebrations against Mexico and his involvement requires final confirmation ahead of Saturday.
Declan Rice anchors the midfield regardless of any changes around him. Bellingham operates in his free number ten role and will carry the most significant attacking threat in Miami. Saka returns having been substituted for Stones during the defensive reshuffle against Mexico. Kane leads the line and arrives within one goal of tying Haaland, Mbappe and Messi in the Golden Boot race.
Head-to-Head
England hold a commanding head-to-head record against Norway, winning seven of their 12 meetings with just two defeats. Their most significant previous competitive encounter came at the 1994 World Cup qualifiers, when a famous 2-0 Norway win at Wembley derailed England’s campaign. Their last meeting was a friendly in 2014, comfortably won by England. Saturday is the first World Cup knockout meeting between the two nations – and the most consequential game these sides have ever shared.
Which side will advance to the semi-final?
England enter Saturday as favourites with superior squad depth, tournament experience and the memory of Mexico driving them forward. Norway arrive as the tournament’s most dramatic story – a nation that has never reached a World Cup semi-final, fronted by the best striker in the world on his current form.
We’re backing Orjan Nyland to be tested repeatedly in Miami. 1/1 with 10bet for Nyland to make 4 or more saves reflects England’s attacking quality, their relentless pressing game and the pressure Norway’s goalkeeper will face against Kane, Bellingham and Saka.
For a combined selection, Bellingham to score and England to win at 7/2 with 10bet reflects his outstanding tournament form, his ability to deliver in the biggest moments and England’s superior squad depth going into the last eight.
