Norway Vs England Team News
After various reports of a number of players being struck down by an illness bug, Norway’s team doctor Ola Sand has publicly dismissed those concerns. Head coach Stale Solbekken admitted some stars felt fatigued but the Vikings only major concern is whether David Moller Wolfe is able to feature after being subbed off against Brazil.
Even though the Norway vs England odds lean towards a Three Lions win, managing superstar forward Erling Haaland will be Thomas Tuchel’s biggest concern. Dan Burn may be introduced into the starting XI after his herculean performance against Mexico. Jarell Quansah is banned and Jordan Henderson is out with a broken arm.

Norway Vs England Prediction
Firmly cementing their place as a 2026 World Cup dark horse, Norway have been a breath of fresh air in North America. Erling Haaland’s goals and the Viking Row have certainly got people talking but unfortunately for the super Scandinavians, we are backing their journey to come to an abrupt halt.
England were absolutely brilliant at the Azteca and with the likes of Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane in the form of their lives, the Three Lions can be confident of roaring to victory in Miami.
