Norway vs. England - Exact Score

Platform comparison

Market context

The upcoming FIFA World Cup quarter-final between Norway and England, set for 10pm BST on Saturday 11 July at Miami Stadium, Florida, presents a sharp contrast in recent trajectories. England, the historical favourite, have dominated this fixture, winning seven of the last twelve encounters while Norway failed to score in their last four meetings. However, Norway are the underdogs with a genuine contrarian angle, having achieved their deepest World Cup run ever by defeating Brazil 2-1 and securing two consecutive knockout wins, a feat unmatched in their history.

The crowd-implied probability of 7% for an exact score suggests the consensus heavily favours a low-scoring England victory or a draw, yet value may sit with a narrow Norway win given their current momentum and Haaland’s scoring prowess. Historical precedents show that when Norway have managed to score against England, the margins were often tight, such as the 1-0 loss in a previous encounter, framing the current probability as potentially undervaluing Norway’s attacking threat. Traders should monitor final team news and tactical adjustments, particularly England’s response to Norway’s high press, as recent previews highlight the intrigue of this matchup and the potential for an upset.

Key catalysts include the confirmation of starting lineups and any late injuries, with FIFA’s official match preview noting the significance of Haaland’s presence and England’s aim to return to the last four. Recent reports from the BBC underscore that Norway will fear Haaland most, indicating his pivotal role in any exact score outcome. As the settlement window closes on 2026-07-11, the focus remains on the 90-minute result, excluding extra time and penalties, making the historical dominance of England and Norway’s knockout form the primary factors to weigh.

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). That keeps the comparison honest — a single canonical probability across the row, with the venue-by-venue trade-offs spelt out in the columns next to it.

Resolution & payout

Polymarket-based markets settle through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution. Payouts settle automatically in USDC the moment the result is final — no bookmaker, no delay.

Kalshi-based markets settle in USD via the CFTC-regulated clearinghouse. Betfair Exchange settles in GBP/EUR net of commission. Manifold is play-money and does not pay out real funds.
