Portugal vs Norway

Portugal have been in strong form, winning four of their last six matches, including their most recent outings against Wales and Norway. They have kept three clean sheets in this period and have not tasted defeat since the home match against Spain in July. Norway have experienced a more mixed sequence with three wins and three losses in their last six fixtures. While they managed a high-scoring victory over Denmark recently, they arrive on the back of the home defeat to Portugal. The visitors have struggled to keep clean sheets in their recent outings, failing to shut out their opponents in any of their last six games.

There is little history between these two sides on our record. The only meeting in our database is the match played on September 27, which Portugal won away from home.

• Portugal hold a perfect record in the current UEFA Nations League campaign with three wins from three games.
• Norway have conceded in every one of their last six matches, while Portugal have kept three clean sheets in their own six-match run.
• Cristiano Ronaldo has led the Portuguese scoring effort with three goals in the recent matches held on record.
• Erling Haaland has been the standout threat for Norway, contributing six goals across their recent listed fixtures.

Portugal enter this fixture in superior form and hold the advantage of a perfect record in the competition so far. While Norway possess a significant attacking threat through Erling Haaland, their defensive inconsistencies over the last six matches may prove difficult to overcome against the hosts. We lean towards Portugal continuing their positive momentum in this encounter.
