Portugal Norway betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most probable scenario for this match will be for a small number of goals scored. We believe Portugal will dominate the match and have the best scoring chances, but they will have difficulties scoring goals. Besides, Portugal will be without a few important players. On the other hand, Norway will have a tough match and will concentrate on not conceding. So we believe in a balanced and low scoring match.

Analysis Portugal

This is the 3º friendly match of the year for the home team, after having registered the following final scores in the previous friendlies: Portugal (2‑1) Belgium e Portugal (0‑1) Bulgaria. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 10 wins, 1 draws and 4 losses in away matches; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home matches Portugal has won 5, tied 1 and lost 4.

Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. 7 of their last 10 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches. They have conceded the first goal in 5 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 10 home matches for all competitions there are 1 periods that stand out: they have scored 3 of their 8 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

Portugal heads into this match after a win against Belgium, in a match where Nani and Cristiano Ronaldo scored the team's goals. For this match, coach Fernando Santos should play in their usual 4-4-2 formation, looking for counter attacks, as their opponent has a lot of offensive power. Also, their previous matches against this team have been very difficult. However, they are still showing a lot of difficulties in their defensive transition and against offensive free kicks. For this match, they will be without Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe, who will be playing in the champions league final.

Confirmed Lineup: Anthony Lopes, Raphaël Guerreiro, Ricardo Carvalho, José Fonte, Cédric Soares, Ricardo Quaresma, William Carvalho, João Mário, André Gomes, João Moutinho, Éder.
Coach: F. Fernandes da Costa Santos.

Analysis Norway

The away team plays its 3º friendly match of the year. In the previous friendly matches they registered the following final scores: Norway (2‑0) Finland e Estonia (0‑0) Norway.

Defensive consistency has been one of their best features, as they have only conceded goals in 3 of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 4 of the last 8 matches have ended ended with Under 1,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Norway reaches this friendly match after a 2-0 win against Finland, in a match where Berget and Johansen scored the winning goals. For this match, coach Per-Mathias Hogmo should play in a 4-4-1-1 formation, but with a rather defensive approach, as they will be away from home and their opponent has offensive strength. Besides, they should try to use the wings as a way to create danger, using Odegaard, a very quick player. Still, they have great defensive weaknesses, but competence against crosses.

Confirmed Lineup: Rune Jarstein, Stefan Strandberg, Martin Linnes, Even Hovland, Anders Trondsen, Stefan Johansen, Valon Berisha, Ruben Jenssen, Markus Henriksen, Veton Berisha, Joshua King.
Coach: S. Solbakken.
