Norway started their League A Group 4 campaign with a 3-2 victory over Denmark, while Portugal grabbed a 1-0 win over Wales thanks to a goal from Joao Felix.
Interestingly, Norway's last defeat in an official match on home soil was almost three years ago, when they lost 1–0 to Spain in October 2023. The side, managed by Stale Solbakken, will be full of confidence heading into the clash which will be their toughest of the Nations League clashes.
However, Norway have taken on Portugal on 11 previous occasions, boasting a record of one win, two draws and eight defeats. Their only success over Portugal came in a European Championship qualification fixture back in September 2010.
