Norway tipped to beat misfiring Portugal at 31/20 as Nations League action heats up

# Match context Both teams started their Nations League campaigns with wins. Norway beat Denmark 3-2 in a high-scoring fixture in Oslo. Portugal won 1-0 against Wales in Lisbon but dominated possession without a clinical edge. The Group A4 top spot is at stake as Norway host Portugal at Ullevaal Stadium.

# Why Norway looks reasonably priced Norway have been strong at home in competitive internationals and are aiming for an eighth straight competitive home victory. Erling Haaland is central to their threat: he scored twice against Denmark to reach 64 goals in 54 caps. Those factors are the basis for the suggested home win at 31/20 with Bet365.

# What's concerning about Portugal

# Alternative markets to consider

• Portugal corners: Portugal won 10 corners against Wales, so backing over nine corners for the Portugal vs Norway match is priced at 11/8 with Bet365. That market leans on Portugal's attacking possession and set-piece volume even when goals are scarce.
• Erling Haaland: his immediate form and scoring record make individual scorer markets relevant for those wanting exposure without backing a full-match result.

• Germany vs Greece: Jurgen Klopp's Germany drew 1-1 in Amsterdam in his first match. Bet365 list Germany as heavy favourites (2/5). Greece beat Serbia 2-1 in their opener and had 10 shots on target in that game, so some attacking markets look promising. Specific suggestions include Greece to win either half at 12/5 and a combined BTTS with over 2.5 goals at 20/21. Marc-Andre Ter Stegen is priced 13/8 to make over 2.5 saves after a match in which he made nine saves versus the Netherlands.

• Germany. The Dutch are 2/5 favourites away in Belgrade, but internal issues and recent form make it harder to find standout value. Suggested player market: Cody Gakpo over 1.5 shots on target at 11/10, reflecting his tendency to get forward and his late equaliser against Germany.

# Super single tips listed in the preview

• Norway to win at 31/20 (Bet365)
• Marc-Andre Ter Stegen over 2.5 saves at 13/8 (Bet365)
• Cody Gakpo over 1.5 shots on target at 11/10 (Bet365)

# Practical betting takeaways If you favour backing form at home and an in-form striker, the Norway win at 31/20 is the primary angle. If you want a lower-risk play that leans on Portugal's attacking volume despite scoring issues, consider the Portugal over-nine-corners market. For match-by-match variety, the preview recommends mixing result, player, and statistical markets (saves, shots on target, combined goal-line markets) depending on appetite and bankroll size.
