Preview

Norway responded well after watching their 2-0 lead disappear against Denmark in midweek, striking late through Erling Haaland to claim three points against their Scandinavian rivals. Sunday's hosts have won five of their last seven international matches.

Portugal attempted 23 shots against Wales in gameweek one of the Nations League, but Joao Felix's solitary goal in the 22nd minute proved enough for three points. Jorge Jesus' men have lost just one of their last 11 international games.
