A fascinating quarter-final between two teams that share several footballing characteristics and a similar playing philosophy, although England hold the edge in experience and, to some extent, individual quality.

Norway has developed into a very well-organized side with a clear tactical identity. Stale Solbakken’s game plan has worked perfectly throughout the tournament, building a compact team whose primary objective is to create opportunities for the unstoppable Erling Haaland. Their numbers speak for themselves, as all five of their matches at this World Cup have produced both over 2.5 goals and both teams to score.

England have also looked highly competitive, but with a different approach. Thomas Tuchel has built a more attack-minded and slightly more open team. Defensively, however, England continue to show vulnerabilities, allowing chances in virtually every match. They have scored consistently, and not only through Harry Kane. With defensive issues unlikely to be solved in the middle of the tournament, England are expected to continue playing proactive, attacking football.

This has all the ingredients to be the most entertaining quarter-final. It is difficult to imagine either side keeping a clean sheet, while both have more than enough firepower to get on the scoresheet.

The odds on the both teams to score & over 2.5 goals combo offer excellent value and are more than attractive enough for a bet.
