Norway v England predictions
England have long said that they will be at their best against strong teams that are keen to attack – and Saturday’s game should be a good test of that promise.
Norway gave up plenty of chances against Brazil but created enough to win the game and with Haaland leading the line, goals are almost guaranteed.
Though heat could slow this match-up down a little, expect both teams to go on the front foot and England’s quality to shine through.
Radio Times says… Norway 1-3 England
