Portugal’s unbeaten Nations League run faces its latest test against Norway at the Estádio do Dragão, where Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard lead the visitors’ attempt to unsettle Group A4. Kick-off in Porto is scheduled for 20:45 on Sunday.
| Competition | Group | Venue | Kick-off |

| Portugal’s previous match | Denmark | Thursday | Portugal won |
| Norway’s previous match | Wales | Three days earlier | Line-up changed for Porto |
Jorge Jesus has made three alterations to Portugal’s starting side following the victory over Denmark. Francisco Conceição, João Félix and João Palhinha come into the team, while Rúben Neves, Neto and Rafael Leão begin on the bench. Félix joins Gonçalo Ramos and Conceição in the forward line.
Norway reshape side around Haaland and Ødegaard
Norway coach Ståle Solbakken has also refreshed his selection, making four changes from the side used against Wales. Selvik takes over in goal, while Østigård returns in defence and Berg and Nusa are brought in further forward.
Fredrik Aursnes, deployed in midfield in Norway’s last outing, shifts to full-back. Nyland, Ryerson and Bobb drop out, while Heggem is unavailable through suspension.
Portugal will be without Cristiano Ronaldo, who left the national-team camp and has already returned to Riyadh to resume training with Al Nassr. Speculation had suggested he could return during the international window, but he is instead back with his club.
