Two of the World Cup's form sides collide in Miami on Saturday, with Norway and England both arriving on the back of famous last-16 wins and a semi-final place up for grabs.
Norway made history on 5 July, beating Brazil 2-1 to reach their first ever World Cup quarter-final. Erling Haaland has been unplayable, and the dark horses fancy their chances against anyone.
England also came through on 5 July, seeing off co-hosts Mexico 3-2 in a dramatic Round of 16 tie. The Three Lions are growing in confidence and go in as favourites here.
There is no recent history between these two at this level, so it is squarely about form. Haaland's fire against England's greater squad depth is the fixture in a nutshell.
Norway vs England Form
Norway are flying, landing the win in nine of their last ten outings across all opponents. That run takes in a stunning 2-1 defeat of Brazil and a 4-1 hammering of Iraq, with only a 4-1 loss to France interrupting it. Erling Haaland is the engine of it all, and Martin Ødegaard keeps the supply line ticking from midfield.
England match that record, winning nine of their last ten fixtures, with the goalless draw against Ghana the only blemish and a 3-2 win over Mexico the pick of them. Emphatic 5-0 wins over Latvia and Serbia show the ceiling. Harry Kane leads the line while Jude Bellingham drives things forward.

Julian Ryerson returned from a thigh injury to start against Brazil and keeps his place. Norway are likely to name an unchanged side after that stunning last-16 win, with Haaland leading the line once more.
England
Jarell Quansah is suspended after his sending off against Mexico, so Djed Spence is set to come in at right-back. Reece James could feature after a hamstring problem. Guehi, O'Reilly, Rice and Bellingham are all one booking from missing the semi-final.

Norway vs England Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: England have the edge in quality and squad depth, but Haaland guarantees Norway a threat. We fancy the Three Lions to edge a high-scoring quarter-final, with goals at both ends. Our prediction: Norway 1-2 England.
Best Bets
England are the favourites and we like them to progress. England to win is priced at 20/21 with PricedUp, and with the Three Lions winning nine of their last ten there is plenty behind the tip.
With both attacks in form and goals expected, Over 2.5 Goals catches the eye at 4/5 with AK Bets, a market the numbers rate as the standout value here.
Norway vs England Bet Builder
Our three-leg bet builder leans on the two star strikers hitting multiple shots on target and an England win which will see them reach their second semi-finals in three editions.
Leg one is England Win. The Three Lions have won nine of their last 10 competitive matches, with the World Cup draw against Ghana the only game they did not pick up three points.
Leg two is Erling Haaland Over 2.5 Shots On Target. He has hit that mark in seven of his last nine, and in this form he is peppering the target every game.
Leg three is Harry Kane Over 1.5 Shots On Target. The England skipper has managed at least one on target in each four of his last six games, a reliable anchor for the slip.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 15/2 at bet365 and is as short as 4/1 elsewhere. That's a difference in potential winnings of £35 from best to worst price.

Norway vs England Talking Points
This one could come down to two of the tournament's brightest lights. Erling Haaland struck the winner in the 79th minute as Norway toppled Brazil, and stopping him is England's chief job in Miami. At the other end, Jude Bellingham showed his big-game quality with two goals in 98 seconds against Mexico, while Harry Kane keeps ticking over up top. If England contain Haaland and let Bellingham and Kane run the show, a semi-final place is theirs for the taking.
