Anthony Eadson’s Norway vs Portugal predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson backs Erling Haaland to fire Norway to another high-scoring win.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Erling Haaland to score anytime | 10/11 (SBK) | Erling Haaland scored twice in Thursday’s 3-2 win over Denmark, taking him to 64 goals in 56 caps, after scoring seven times at the World Cup. He has found the net in five of Norway’s last seven competitive games, and Norway have scored 26 goals across their last five competitive home wins. SBK’s 10/11 is a fair price for one of the world’s most reliable finishers. |
| Norway to win and both teams to score | 3/1 (bet365) | Both teams have scored in each of Norway’s last seven competitive games, including Thursday’s 3-2 win over Denmark, and Norway have won their last five competitive home games. Portugal had 22 shots in beating Wales and will create chances, but they have lost two of their last six competitive away or neutral games. A Norway win with both teams scoring is exactly how matchday one went in Oslo, and bet365’s 3/1 is a big price for a repeat. |

How Norway go into the game
Norway opened with a thrilling 3-2 win over Denmark, Erling Haaland’s brace sending them top of Group A4 on goals scored.
They are without the suspended David Moller Wolfe and looked open at the back, but Ullevaal will roar them on behind Haaland and Martin Odegaard.
How Portugal go into the game
Portugal edged Wales 1-0 through a deflected Joao Felix strike, dominating with 22 shots but lacking a clinical touch, with Cristiano Ronaldo wasteful before being withdrawn.
Jorge Jesus’s side are still finding their rhythm but carry huge quality and will fancy their chances even in Oslo.
Norway vs Portugal head-to-head
Portugal have dominated this fixture, winning eight of the 11 meetings, with Norway’s only victory a 1-0 Euro 2012 qualifier in Oslo in September 2010. Portugal also won the most recent meeting, 3-0 in a 2016 friendly.
