Portugal host Norway in a Nations League Group A4 clash in Porto on Sunday at 7.45pm, with the group leaders with a perfect record looking to all but seal top spot against a Norway side who have lost their last two games.
Anthony Eadson’s Portugal vs Norway predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson backs Portugal to edge it, with Joao Felix on target again.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Joao Felix to score and Portugal to win | 29/20 (BetVictor) | Joao Felix is in sensational form, scoring in each of Portugal’s three group games, against Wales, in Oslo and in Copenhagen, and Portugal won all three. He opened the scoring in the 2-1 win over Norway on 27 September. With Cristiano Ronaldo having left the Portugal camp and Goncalo Ramos leading the line, Felix is the team’s leading scorer with three goals, one more than Ramos. Norway have conceded in every group game, letting in two in each of their last two, and are without the suspended Torbjorn Heggem, so backing Felix to score in another Portugal win looks a strong play at 29/20. |
| Portugal to win by exactly one goal | 3/1 (bet365) | Fine margins have defined this group. All three of Norway’s games have been decided by a single goal: a 3-2 win over Denmark, followed by a 2-1 home defeat to Portugal and a 2-1 loss in Wales. Two of Portugal’s three wins were also by one goal, 1-0 against Wales and 2-1 in Oslo, with only the 4-2 victory in Copenhagen more comfortable. Norway, World Cup quarter-finalists in the summer, still carry a threat through Erling Haaland, so another narrow home win, matching our 2-1 score prediction, is worth backing at 3/1. |

How Portugal go into the game
Portugal have won all three group games, beating Denmark 4-2 last time, and lead the way with a perfect record.
Joao Felix has scored in every game, while Goncalo Ramos leads the line after Cristiano Ronaldo left the squad following his benching.
How Norway go into the game
Norway have lost two in a row since beating Denmark 3-2, most recently going down 2-1 in Wales after Torbjorn Heggem was sent off, with Erling Haaland held scoreless.
They are without the suspended Torbjorn Heggem and have slipped to the chasing pack after a bright start.
