Arthur Wandji, a sports betting expert and Cameroonian journalist, has selected two wagers for 4 October, with Erling Haaland to score for Norway against Portugal and more than 8.5 corners predicted in the Wales-Denmark match.
Portugal v Norway – 4 October, 18:45 GMT
Betting option: Erling Haaland to score (odds: 2.05)
Haaland scored in the previous meeting between Portugal and Norway, pulling a goal back to make it 2-1 after half-time. The striker has now scored 65 goals for his country and comes into the match in strong form for both club and country.
He has found the net 10 times in his past eight competitive appearances, underlining the individual momentum behind the recommendation. Norway’s defensive line, however, is expected to look different for this fixture.
Torbjørn Heggem is suspended, while Julian Ryerson has left the Norway squad because of injury. Alexander Sørloth is also unavailable, leaving the team without another attacking option.
Cristiano Ronaldo has departed and Bruno Fernandes is expected to miss the match, but Portugal’s attacking threat could still force Norway to take greater risks. That scenario is considered favourable to Haaland, who is backed to score as Norway look to protect their position in the game.
Wales v Denmark – 4 October, 18:45 GMT
Betting option: More than 8.5 corners (odds: 1.64)
The statistics surrounding Denmark point towards a match with a high number of corners. Their past 15 official international fixtures have produced more than 8.5 corners on 13 occasions.
Wales have also shown a consistent attacking threat at home. They have recorded at least five shots on target in five of their past seven official matches on home soil, suggesting they could contribute to the volume needed for this selection.
The Welsh side’s 2-1 victory over Norway has provided a lift, while their home record makes them difficult to overcome. Wales have suffered only one official defeat after 90 minutes since June 2023.
David Brooks will miss the match because of injury, although his absence is not expected to significantly change the overall profile of the contest. Denmark’s Mikkel Damsgaard remains one of the players to watch after being involved in three goals across the opening three rounds of the Nations League.
Odds are subject to change.
