Can England stop Erling Haaland's Norway and reach the World Cup semi-final? It will be difficult but Thomas Tuchel's are 20/23 to win in normal time and 4/9 to qualify for the last four. For Norway, the respective prices are 16/5 and 15/8.

England rose to the challenge against Mexico at the Azteca Stadium and Betfair ambassador Alan Shearer believes they need to be just as good here. There can be no let up, no sense of anticlimax after the heights of a last 16 that was one for the ages. Six days on, England must go again.

Below are three Optas and three related tips, with ways of backing both teams.

Tip#1 - Back Kane and Haaland to score

Harry Kane has scored six goals at the 2026 FIFA World Cup; it's only the third time an England player has scored six goals in a major tournament (FIFA World Cup/UEFA EUROs - also Gary Lineker at the 1986 World Cup and Kane himself at the 2018 World Cup). Kane has scored 11 goals in his last 12 knockout stage matches at major tournaments, both scoring and missing a penalty against France at this stage of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Erling Haaland has scored in each of his last 14 competitive outings for Norway (27 goals in total during this period), finding the back of the net in all four of his appearances at the 2026 FIFA World Cup so far. The last player to score in each of his first five games at the tournament was Columbia's James Rodríguez in 2014, while the last European player to do so was Germany's Gerd Müller in 1970.

Tip#2 - Back Bellingham to score again

After scoring twice against Mexico, Jude Bellingham became the first midfielder to net 4+ goals in a FIFA World Cup campaign for England (4). His 33.3% shot conversion rate at the 2026 tournament is also the highest of any England midfielder to attempt more than three shots in a World Cup campaign on Opta record (since 1966 - four goals from 12 shots).

Tip#3 - Back Anderson to tackle Vikings

For England at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Elliot Anderson ranks first for interceptions (7), tackles (14), possession won (29), duels won (40) and line breaking passes (42), while only Jude Bellingham has made as many high intensity pressures as him (170 each).
