Norway host Portugal at Ullevaal in Oslo in UEFA Nations League A Group 4, with both sides arriving on the back of opening wins in the competition.
Staale Solbakken's Norway enter this fixture sitting top of the group after a 3-2 win over Denmark, a result that continues their strong momentum following a World Cup campaign that saw them reach the Round of 16. Erling Haaland and company will be eager to press their advantage at home.
Portugal come to Oslo in second place, having beaten Wales 1-0 in their Nations League opener. Jorge Jesus's side showed resilience in the World Cup before falling to Spain in the quarter-finals, and they carry genuine quality across the pitch.
The management situation in Portugal adds an edge to this fixture. Jesus has made clear that no player is guaranteed a place regardless of reputation, sending a direct message that even Cristiano Ronaldo must earn his starting spot through performance.
With Ronaldo in the projected XI alongside Bruno Fernandes and João Félix, Portugal possess attacking firepower capable of threatening any defence. Norway will look to Haaland and Martin Ødegaard to provide the creative and clinical edge on home soil.
