Norway vs Portugal Predictions

• Norway have won five of their last seven games
• Portugal have won just one of their last three road games
• Norway have gone nine games without a clean sheet

Norway can continue perfect start

Norway kicked off their Nations League campaign with a 3-2 win over Denmark and they can follow that up by beating defending champions Portugal.

The Selecao das Quinas also claimed three points in their opener against Wales. It was a deserved win for the Portuguese but they did concede a few chances in that 1-0 success, and this ruthless Norway side can take advantage of their defensive vulnerabilities.

The Norwegians enjoyed a strong World Cup and are in form with five wins in their last seven. The Scandinavians have a formidable home record as they are unbeaten in 14 of Norwegian soil, winning 11, and Portugal’s away form has been patchy recently with just one win in their last three.

A home win is a confident prediction but Norway may concede in victory. The hosts have gone nine games without a clean sheet and tend to outgun their opponents rather than shut them down, so a 2-1 home win has a chance.

Erling Haaland hit seven goals in five games for Man City prior to the international break and scored two of Norway’s goals against Denmark, so he is an obvious pick for an anytime effort on Sunday.
