Combo Winner : England and +1.5 goals

Norway come into this World Cup match in excellent shape, having won four of their last five games. Their only recent loss was a tight 3-2 defeat, and the wins have often come with plenty of goals both for and against them. England, however, have been a bit more inconsistent, with two losses and a draw in their last five matches, though they have also managed to score in most of those games.

There is no recent history between these two sides, so this match feels very open. England have shown they can struggle defensively recently, while Norway are scoring freely. Given that both teams have been involved in high-scoring games and England's recent form is less convincing, the most likely outcome here is a draw, with both teams finding the net.
