Norway vs England: Surprise Jude Bellingham odds too good to ignore for World Cup quarter-final

England booked their place in the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup after edging past co-hosts Mexico 3-2 in a thrilling Round of 16 encounter.

Norway, meanwhile, stunned Brazil with a 2-1 victory to set up a mouthwatering last-eight clash.

England opened their World Cup campaign with a 4-2 win over Croatia before topping their group with a goalless draw against Ghana and a 2-0 victory over Panama.

In the Round of 32, the Three Lions came from behind to beat DR Congo 2-1, with Harry Kane scoring both goals.

Thomas Tuchel's side then played with 10 men for more than half an hour against Mexico but still did enough to secure their place in the quarter-finals.

Although England have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last two matches, they remain favourites at 9/10 (1.90) to beat Norway.

Jude Bellingham has enjoyed an outstanding World Cup so far, contributing four goals and one assist, while also producing a string of influential all-round performances.

The Real Madrid midfielder took his game to another level against Mexico, scoring twice and delivering one of the finest displays by an England player at the World Cup.

Wayne Rooney even suggested Bellingham's performance against Mexico was reminiscent of the inspirational Champions League displays produced by Steven Gerrard and Roy Keane.

Despite being expected to play another key role for England, Bellingham is surprisingly priced at 14/5 (3.80) to score anytime.

He is also available at 16/11 (2.45) to score or register an assist during the match, and given his outstanding form at this World Cup, those odds look difficult to ignore.

Other tempting odds you should watch out between Norway vs England

Harry Kane has scored six goals at this World Cup and sits two behind Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe in the Golden Boot race.

The England captain is priced at 21/20 (2.05) to score anytime, which represents an attractive option.

Each of Norway's last seven matches has seen both teams find the net, making Both Teams To Score – Yes at 7/10 (1.70) another appealing market.

England have opened the scoring in four of their last five matches, and the Three Lions are backed at 4/6 (1.67) to score first once again.
