Match Analysis

Norway

Norway’s win over Brazil wasn’t a fluke — their game plan was executed perfectly, combining defensive discipline with ruthless use of Haaland’s goal threat. Against England, they’ll use the same template: absorb pressure, defend deep, and wait for the moment to hit. Haaland’s pace and physicality is a nightmare matchup for any centre-back pairing, and England’s defenders will have to be at their best to contain him. Norway’s best football tends to come when they’re the underdog with nothing to lose.

England

England’s 3–2 win over Mexico was more stressful than they’d have liked, but three goals in a quarter-final shows attacking quality. Their squad has the individual ability to control this match if they impose their style, and at 1.86–1.88 the market gives them a clear edge. England will need to press high and limit Norway’s counter-attacking space — if they allow Haaland to receive the ball in behind, they’ll be in trouble. A disciplined, professional performance should be enough.
