Erling Haaland had 16 goals in eight games over qualifying and enjoyed another excellent season domestically with 38 goals across all competitions. Haaland’s Norway face France, Senegal and Iraq in the group stage and he could reach four goals in those three games alone.

Spain are the current favourites and seem set for a deep run at the World Cup. La Roja also have a kind draw with Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia joining them in Group H. Lamine Yamal scored 16 goals in La Liga for Barcelona in 28 games and is among the contenders to top the World Cup 2026 scoring charts.

Leones del Norte have taken ten points from the last 12 available at home and head into this tie as underdogs against a Universidad Catolica outfit with three defeats in their last four Ecuador Liga Pro away games.

Three of England’s games have featured at least three goals and they have scored two or more goals themselves in four of their matches, hitting 11 goals in total. Over 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in all five of Norway’s games and they have scored 12 themselves. Both of these sides can contribute and combine for at least three goals.

Argentina have scored 14 goals across their five World Cup games but have started to show signs of vulnerability at the back. The defending champions have conceded in each of their last three games, shipping five goals in total across their games with Jordan, Cape Verde and Egypt. Switzerland had scored nine goals in four games prior to their 0-0 draw with Colombia, who are perhaps a stronger defensive unit than Argentina, so both of these teams look capable of scoring.

HJK have scored a massive 21 goals across their last five away games and have netted at least three in four of these, while Lahti shipped three at home to SJK less than a month ago.

Mjallby’s last three Alsvenskan games have been score draws and their most recent was a 4-4 thriller against Sirius, while AIK have seen goals at both ends in five of their last six league assignments.

Both teams have scored in Aalesund’s last four Norway Eliteserien games and in all six of their home matches this term, with over 2.5 goals landing in five of those, while each of Molde’s last two league fixtures have produced at least three goals and goals at both ends.

Mariehamn are rock bottom of the Veikkausliiga with four points from 14 games. They have scored a meagre six goals all season and have lost to nil in five of their seven league trips, while Gnistan have won to nil in four of their last five at home.

Erling Haaland has seven goals in four games at the World Cup and he is in the midst of an incredible international scoring streak. The Manchester City forward has scored in his last 14 competitive Norway appearances, with 27 goals in total, and he can extend that run against England in Miami.

Argentina’s evergreen superstar Lionel Messi is the tournament’s leading scorer with eight goals. Messi has scored in every game so far and can keep that streak going in this quarter final tie.

Over 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in all five of Norway’s games and they have scored 12 themselves. Both of these sides can contribute and combine for at least three goals.

England have enough quality to win this tie in 90 minutes, but they face a scintillating attack that have scored at least twice in four of their five games, while England have conceded twice in two of their World Cup wins.

Argentina have shown signs of vulnerability at the back, conceding in each of their last three, and Switzerland had scored nine goals in four games before their draw with Colombia. Lionel Messi’s side have enough quality to win in the end, though.

England have a few injury and suspension concerns, while fatigue may be more of a factor for Thomas Tuchel’s side than it is for the Norwegians, but the Three Lions still have enough quality to win inside 90 minutes. We could be set for another five-goal thriller and a 3-2 England win is the pick, as Norway have scored at least twice in all of their games aside from the 4-1 defeat to France when they fielded a weakened side and England have conceded twice in two of their World Cup wins.

Argentina have had a couple of close calls since the group stage ended but have managed to show their class when it mattered most and they have enough talent to work out Switzerland. With goals at both ends predicted, a 2-1 Argentina win is the pick.

Since winning Euro 2024, Spain have extended their unbeaten record to 28 matches, reaching the final of the Nations League and breezing through their World Cup qualifying campaign. European sides have historically struggled in tournaments held in other continents, but that trend appears to be turning. Spain won in South Africa in 2010, followed by Germany’s success in Brazil four years later. France were a shootout away from repeating the trick four years ago. There hasn’t been a World Cup final without a European side since 1950, and the European champions can extend that streak this summer.

Kylian Mbappe finished last season as the top scorer in La Liga with 25 goals and he scored five goals in four games during qualifying. France are among the tournament favourites and are likely to reach the latter stages and they will face Iraq, Senegal and Norway in the group stages, so Mbappe may be able to score a few goals in the earlier rounds.

Lamine Yamal is the most exciting attacking talent in a strong Spain side and he has a habit of scoring eye-catching goals, those attributes can be key in deciding where the player of the tournament award ends up.

Argentina have scored 14 goals across their five World Cup games but have started to show signs of vulnerability at the back. The defending champions have conceded in each of their last three games, shipping five goals in total across their games with Jordan, Cape Verde and Egypt. Switzerland had scored nine goals in four games prior to their 0-0 draw with Colombia, who are perhaps a stronger defensive unit than Argentina, so both of these teams look capable of scoring.

Argentina’s evergreen superstar Lionel Messi is the tournament’s leading scorer with eight goals. Messi has scored in every game so far and can keep that streak going in this quarter final tie.

Kylian Mbappe has scored in four of his five World Cup appearances, hitting seven goals in total, and has three goals in the knockout stages. Mbappe will also be on penalty duties so he should be able to add to his haul against Morocco.

Mikel Oyarzabal is Spain’s leading World Cup scorer with four goals and he can add to his total against Belgium. The Real Sociedad striker drew a blank against Portugal but should enjoy more success against a Belgian defence that has shipped five goals in as many games.

Erling Haaland has seven goals in four games at the World Cup and he is in the midst of an incredible international scoring streak. The Manchester City forward has scored in his last 14 competitive Norway appearances, with 27 goals in total, and he can extend that run against England in Miami.

Morocco are on an incredible 34-game unbeaten run but they haven’t face a side as strong as France during that period and could come well and truly unstuck against this rampant Les Bleus side. France won their first four games by two or more goals until running into a defensively-minded Paraguay side. If France can take an early lead they should be able to cover a -1 handicap.

Spain have won four of their five World Cup games and are yet to concede a goal, while they have only faced five shots on target over the course of the tournament. La Roja can claim another win and a clean sheet against Belgium in the quarter finals.

Three of England’s games have featured at least three goals and they have scored two or more goals themselves in four of their matches, hitting 11 goals in total. Over 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in all five of Norway’s games and they have scored 12 themselves. Both of these sides can contribute and combine for at least three goals.

Switzerland had scored nine goals in four games prior to their 0-0 draw with Colombia, who are perhaps a stronger defensive unit than Argentina, so both of these teams look capable of scoring.

Alex: France side showed maturity to deal with Paraguay’s shenanigans in the last 16 and have scored 14 goals in their five matches this tournament. They have scored at least twice in four of their five meetings with Morocco, who were not as dominant as the scoreline suggests against Canada.

Gareth: Spain haven’t conceded a goal at the World Cup and if they can keep a clean sheet against Belgium they can win with room to spare. The Red Devils have conceded some cheap goals at the tournament and are probably not as strong a side as Portugal, who Spain beat 1-0 in the previous round.

Joe: Erling Haaland’s brilliance helped fire Norway to their first ever World Cup quarter-final but they have looked open at the back. Both teams have scored in 11 of their last 12 games and this clash looks set to follow suit. England have been similarly open at the back, they have conceded five times in their last five games, and their games against bigger teams have been particularly end-to-end.

Henry: Argentina have made heavy weather of beating Cape Verde and Egypt in the knockout rounds of the World Cup. The Swiss are a solid side, who have conceded only three goals in five World Cup games and Granit Xhaka is capable of controlling the midfield against Argentina.
