Norway
Norway have won three and lost two of their last five games.
Key Players
- Jorge Jesus has been setting up his side to play a 'control-first' style of soccer, that has enough flexibility to adapt if needed, in which the Seleção das Quinas dominate possession, are patient in build-up and then release the ball vertically when they have a chance to break free.
- Portugal
- Nuno Mendes has been a major contributor from the left, where he has recorded one assist in one game in this group, while Joao Felix has opened the scoring for Portugal with one goal in one.
- Norway
- Landslaget also have a dangerous player in Erling Haaland, who has two goals in this group, and five across his last five appearances in all competitions, will surely ensure the hosts remain on their toes.
- Philippe Clement has perhaps reacted to the fact that his Norway side are not quite as clinical as Haaland by adopting a more direct approach to their 4-3-3 system, with the Manchester City striker's pacey runs to lead the line and Martin Oedegaard playing as the creative hub behind him.
- The Arsenal player has two assists to his name in this group, and four in his last five in all competitions, which highlights the creative power at Norway's disposal.
Betting Insights
- Portugal's odds of 1.66 look a little short given that they're going up against a talented Norway side, while the draw at 4.25 and away side at 4.05 make a little more appeal.
- However, we're taking Over 2.5 goals at 1.44 and Both Teams To Score - yes at 1.48.
Prediction
However, it's the quality of Portugal 's players that should see the hosts edge a competitive game, so while we're going with the favorites to win, we're giving Norway a chance of keeping it tight for as long as possible.
