Norway vs England
📖 The Preview
Norway will make a game of this, don't get me wrong, they've been decent lately, but England look the stronger side over 90 minutes and that 56% win probability reflects it. This is a knockout fixture so both teams are going all in, which is why we're expecting goals at both ends. England edge it 2-1 though, with Norway nicking one but ultimately not having quite enough to turn it around. M. Pedersen is a doubt for Norway which doesn't help their cause, and England's quality should prove the difference.
