This will be the first time that the Swedish referee, international since 2016, will referee a match for the main team from corners, scheduled at the Národný futbalový stadium, in Bratislava.
Glenn Nyberg, 34, will be assisted by his compatriots Mahbod Beigi and Andreas Söderqvist, and the video refereeing (VAR) will be also Swedish Adam Ladebäck.
Portugal faces Slovakia on Friday in Bratislava, and three days later, on Monday, they host Luxembourg in the Algarve.
After four rounds, the team leads Group J, with 12 points, adding only victories, ahead of Slovakia, second ranked, with 10, and Luxembourg, third, with seven. Bosnia-Herzegovina and Iceland have three points, while Liechtenstein is down to zero.
The first two places in the group give direct access to the final phase of the Eurocup, which will take place next year in Germany.
