Record two-time UEFA Nations League champions Portugal continue their title defence on match day two with a trip to Oslo against an exciting Norway side. After starting their campaign with a 1-0 home win over Wales, holders Portugal face their first big test of the competition on Sunday against the Norwegians, who defied expectations with a historic quarterfinal finish at this year’s FIFA World Cup. Spearheaded by Erling Haaland, arguably one of Europe’s most dangerous strikers, and captained by midfield maestro Martin Odegaard, Norway made a winning start too, beating their Scandinavian rivals Denmark 3-2 in a thrilling opener.
Frustrated after a string of missed chances in the first game, Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo will hope to rediscover his form as the team embraces a new chapter under coach Jorge Jesus. I’m Patrick Keddie, and I’ll bring you the live build-up with all the analysis and news surrounding the game, as well as photo coverage of the day. Rohan Sharma will bring you the team news as it drops and live text commentary of the match.
