Portugal, Norway and Japan Matches Stand Out

Portugal will face Denmark in Nations League A. Portugal have won all 4 of their matches to top the group with 12 points and have secured at least a top-two finish. Denmark are in the race for second place with 6 points. With two matches left, taking a point or points off Portugal is of great importance for Denmark.

Portugal ended their last three matches with both teams scoring. In the previous meeting, they beat Denmark 4-2 away. Denmark have scored in every match they have played in the group.

Norway will face Wales. Norway have lost all three of their group matches and have suffered consecutive poor results. Their defence is reported not to look good. Wales won their opening match. Norway want revenge this time.

Japan and Brazil will meet in Singapore. In their recent matches, Japan beat Uruguay, Venezuela and New Zealand, and drew 0-0 with Ecuador. They defeated New Zealand 2-1 in the Kirin Cup final. Brazil played two friendlies against Australia. One ended 1-1 and they won the other 4-2. In their last friendly, on 3 October, they beat India 4-0. The two teams have met before at the World Cup. Japan had gone ahead in that match but were eliminated after conceding in the 90+5th minute. Both teams have weaknesses in defence.
