Norway W meets England W in the World Cup Women quarterfinals. The match will be played on Thursday, June 27th at Stade Océane (Le Havre)
Having not showed anything outstanding in terms of the game ( moreover, it was rather hard to progress from the group, where Norway beat South Korea in the last round and still managed to take 2nd place) the Norwegians somehow beat the Australians in the 1/8 finals. And bookmakers give very small chances to Norway in the quarterfinals either. They offer more than 3 odds for its victory. And for no good reason.

England is showing a rather attractive game. The team won its group by earning all 9 possible points. The 5-1 goal difference was there. In the 1/8 finals, English ladies confidently beat the national team of Cameroon. And now their chances of reaching the semifinal are estimated by the bookmakers and some experts with a quite high rate. At least higher than that of the Norwegians.
England won bronze medals at the last World Cup. Well done! Well, this is its highest achievement in history. There were two more finals of the European Championships. Both were lost. But Norway was both the European champion and the world champion, and even the Olympic champion. So, it is clear who is more experienced. If we look at the game style, the Norwegians play strictly on the result without unnecessary emotions and without a penchant for entertainment. They will hold the upcoming match in such a way either. They will try to slow down the game, and the English women will lose all their advantage and will look out for the breaches in the defense of their rivals. The teams met 7 times, and we see complete equality – each of them won 3 times. Norway is very reliable in defense, and it will fray the nerves of its opponent.
Prediction for the match: Norway W to win with +0.5 handicap
