Form & tactics

Current form and how the match could play out

🇵🇹 Portugal

Portugal beat Wales 1-0 (João Félix) and won 2-1 in Oslo (Félix, Gonçalo Ramos). Diogo Costa saved twice from Haaland in the first half in Oslo.

🇳🇴 Norway

Norway beat Denmark 3-2 (Oscar Bobb, Haaland twice) and lost 2-1 at home to Portugal, with Haaland scoring. They play Wales in Cardiff on Thursday.

  • Portugal scored first in both games through João Félix. Rafael Leão hit the crossbar in Oslo, so Portugal have more than one route to goal.
  • Norway's plan is to get the ball to Haaland in the box. Costa kept him quiet in the first half in Oslo, but Haaland still scored after the break.

Substitution protection

Super Sub for Portugal vs Norway

Super Sub-style features can continue an eligible player selection with a replacement when the selected player is substituted. The operator's rules determine which selections qualify and how they settle. These features do not guarantee a win or protect team markets such as match results and total corners.

The list below only shows bookmakers licensed in your country with a substitution feature recorded in our database, and the markets their own rules name. Availability on this specific international match is decided market by market by the operator.

Loading bookmakers for your country…

Substitution protection is applied market by market. Coverage of UEFA Nations League fixtures is not confirmed individually for each operator — check that the feature badge is shown on the exact bet before you place it.

18+ · T&Cs apply · Please gamble responsibly

  1. Choose your country and check the operator's local eligibility requirements.
  2. Read the feature rules: eligible players, markets, replacements and bet types can differ.
  3. Confirm the player starts and that the exact selection shows the feature before placing the bet.
  4. Check the final odds and any offer terms. Set a limit you can afford; no bet is guaranteed.

FAQ

Portugal vs Norway: questions and answers

What time is Portugal vs Norway?

19:45 UK and Portugal time (20:45 CEST) on Sunday 4 October 2026 at the Estádio do Dragão in Porto.

Is Ronaldo playing against Norway?

Not confirmed. Ronaldo did not play in Portugal's 2-1 win in Oslo. Check the official XI about an hour before kick-off.

How many goals has Haaland scored in this Nations League?

Three in two games before Thursday: two against Denmark and one against Portugal.

Why use a Super Sub bookmaker for this match?

Coaches rotate heavily in a window with two or three games in a week. With Super Sub protection (Sub On Play On, Sub Switch, Impact Sub and similar), an eligible player bet — for example on Erling Haaland or João Félix — can move to the replacement if your player starts and is substituted. It does not help if he does not start, and the bet can still lose. Check each operator's rules and wait for the official XI.
