General match analysis

Typ 1X2 after 90 minutes: 1. This is the main sensation of the quarterfinals. England has more squad depth and experience, but in the cup it was forced to react twice, instead of calmly controlling the course. Norway has the easiest path to a goal in the whole round: a quick transfer of play, Haaland in the penalty area, a second ball and a shot from a high-quality position. The risk for Norway is illness and fatigue in the frame, which is why we do not raise it above 40% after 90 minutes. Despite this, the matchup is very unpleasant for England, because each move of the defenders higher creates space, and moving back the line gives away the initiative and crosses. Typ We Norway because this match may be decided by two Haaland moments rather than overall ball control. Our prediction: 37% for Norway, 29% for draw and 34% for England. Most likely exact score: 2:1. Promotion after the whole match: Norway (54% vs 46%). Status: BET

BTTS - will both teams score?

Typ BTTS: yes. This is the main sensation of the quarterfinals. England has more squad depth and experience, but in the cup it was forced to react twice, instead of calmly controlling the course. Norway has the easiest path to a goal in the whole round: a quick transfer of play, Haaland in the penalty area, a second ball and a shot from a high-quality position. The risk for Norway is illness and fatigue in the frame, which is why we do not raise it above 40% after 90 minutes. Despite this, the matchup is very unpleasant for England, because each move of the defenders higher creates space, and moving back the line gives away the initiative and crosses. Typ We Norway because this match may be decided by two Haaland moments rather than overall ball control. Both teams have a very clear path to goal: one through control and pressure, the other through quick transitions and set pieces. The model gives 64% on BTTS Yes and 36% on BTTS No, with xG Norway 1.55 and England 1.35. Status: BET

The key here is whether the weaker side has a viable path to goal; if not, a score of 1-0 or 2-0 leaves the under. Status: SMALL BET

HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

Typ HT/FT: 1/1. This is the main sensation of the quarterfinals. England has more squad depth and experience, but in the cup it was forced to react twice, instead of calmly controlling the course. Norway has the easiest way to score in the whole round: a quick transfer of play, Haaland in the penalty area, the second ball and a shot from a high-quality position. The risk for Norway is illness and fatigue in the frame, which is why we do not raise it above 40% after 90 minutes. Despite this, the matchup is very unpleasant for England, because each move of the defenders higher creates space, and moving back the line gives away the initiative and crosses. Typ We Norway because this match may be decided by two Haaland moments rather than overall ball control.
