Norway vs Portugal Prediction

Norway host Portugal at Ullevaal Stadion on 27 September 2026 at 21:45 in a UEFA Nations League clash with attacking intent on both sides. Norway opened their campaign with a 3-2 win over Denmark, with Erling Haaland scoring the decisive goal and the Manchester City striker set to lead the line again. Ståle Solbakken has no fresh injury concerns, and Benfica winger Andreas Schjelderup could feature after joining the squad. Portugal won 1-0 against Wales and will rely on Cristiano Ronaldo in attack, with Joao Palhinha and Ruben Neves competing for midfield berths under Jorge Jesus.

Norway have scored in nine of their last ten matches and average 2.01 goals per game at home over that run. They won six of their last ten home fixtures, drew three, and lost one.

Portugal have been tighter away from home, keeping clean sheets in three recent road trips, but their attacking output on the road sits at just 0.50 goals per game. Away from home, Portugal won six of their last ten, drew three, and lost one, averaging 1.50 goals scored and 0.50 conceded.
