On Sunday, Portugal and Norway face off in their second UEFA Nations League group-stage meeting at Oslo’s Ullevaal Stadion.
Portugal come into this fixture with a winning start to their Nations League campaign but show uneven form overall. They secured a narrow 1-0 win against Wales in their opening game, handing new head coach Jorge Jesus a successful first result in charge. Despite that victory, the Seleção das Quinas have managed just seven wins in their last 13 matches across all competitions, following a disappointing Round of 16 elimination by Spain at the 2026 World Cup.
Portugal team news
Portugal arrive with only minor fitness doubts as Jorge Jesus finalises his starting XI. Left-back Nuno Mendes is dealing with late muscle fatigue picked up in the Wales win, but medical staff expect him to be available for selection.
Changes are anticipated in midfield, where João Neves’s youthful dynamism may see him preferred over the more experienced Rúben Neves as part of a tactical refresh.
Up front, Cristiano Ronaldo is set to start again and earn his 235th cap for Portugal, continuing his international career under Jesus.
He is likely to be supported on the flanks by João Félix, who keeps his place after scoring the decisive goal in the 1-0 victory over Wales.
Portugal predicted lineup
Possible Portugal starting XI: Costa; Cancelo, Dias, Veiga, Mendes; J Neves, Vitinha, Fernandes; Neto, Ronaldo, Felix
