The visitors average 61.3% possession, a significant edge over Norway's 55.0%, and their recent form includes two draws and a win from the last three outings, suggesting resilience on the road. Norway's home record reads three wins from five, but inconsistency undermines confidence in a home victory at 2.50. Backing Portugal not to lose, with the away win priced at 2.50, represents the value pick.
