VangAI analysis

VangAI estimate: +12% for “Yes”, confidence 85%

  • England won 50.4% of Opta's simulations and advanced to the semifinals in 62.3% of cases.
  • Bookmakers estimate England's probability of winning in regular time at approximately 50%.
  • Norway has never beaten European teams at World Cups and hasn't scored in the last four meetings with England.
  • England has more experience in World Cup quarterfinals, with 11 appearances at this stage.

Like an experienced chess player against a novice, England has an advantage in experience and statistics.
