With three days remaining before the quarter-final, Norway have sufficient time to reach peak condition ahead of what promises to be a blockbuster tie against Thomas Tuchel's England.
Norway's remarkable run
The Scandinavians have emerged as one of the most compelling stories of the tournament, having dispatched Iraq, Senegal, Ivory Coast, and Brazil on their way to the last eight. Their only setback came in a 4-1 defeat to France — a blemish that has done little to dim their momentum.
England, meanwhile, arrive in good form of their own, having edged Mexico 3-2 on Monday to secure their passage to the quarter-finals. Tuchel's side will be the favourites on paper, but Norway have demonstrated throughout this tournament that they are no pushover.
