England vs Norway Picks: World Cup Best Bets for Today

England vs Norway Prediction: 3-1 England

• Harry Kane Anytime Goalscorer (-105)
• Julian Ryerson To Commit 2 Or More Fouls (-130)

England produced arguably their best performance of the tournament by knocking out co-hosts Mexico, and they'll fancy their chances of reaching the semi-finals against a Norway side whose defensive flaws continue to be exposed despite their attacking quality.

The Scandinavians have conceded 8.1 expected goals (xG) across five games, the worst record of the teams to have reached the final eight, while England have created the most big chances (23) and are averaging almost 2.0 xG per game. Thomas Tuchel's side look well balanced and should create plenty of opportunities again.

That makes HARRY KANE TO SCORE ANYTIME a standout bet. The England captain has six goals already, has scored in four of five World Cup matches and remains the focal point of everything good England do. Averaging 3.86 shots, 2.03 shots on target and 0.70 xG per 90, Kane looks well placed to add to his tally against Norway's vulnerable back line.

I'll also back JULIAN RYERSON TO COMMIT 2+ FOULS.

The Norwegian right-back is likely to spend much of the game dealing with Anthony Gordon, Marcus Rashford and the overlapping Nico O'Reilly, a difficult assignment in what should be another attack-minded England display. Ryerson has committed two fouls in both of his starts at this tournament and could be kept busy throughout.

This is the fundamental difference from NFL or NBA lines. The draw exists because soccer matches can end in ties. Three-way odds account for this possibility.
