Portugal will take on Norway in the semi-final of the U19 Euro championship at the Hibernians Stadium on Thursday.
Portugal will be confident of progress as they are unbeaten since March 2022 and their current run has lasted ten matches. They have won all their group games in the ongoing tournament and have only let in two goals.
Norway, on the other hand, have registered two back-to-back draws against Iceland and Spain heading into this crucial fixture. In their tournament opener, they edged Greece in a nine-goal thriller and the team will be hoping to pull off an upset in the semi-final on Thursday.
