Lillestrøm vs Odd betting preview: Even match expected

It's no vacation for neither Lillestrøm nor Odd as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

This stadium uses grass, unlike Odd's home stadium. The visitors last 17 games on grass have ended in 4 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses.

Lillestrøm form and stats

Lillestrøm have played 4 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).

The home team returns after sharing the points with Mjøndalen on their last time out; the Eliteserien game ended 2-2. The points were shared before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Rosenborg.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Lillestrøm have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won 1 Drawn 2 Lost 2.

The manager J. Lennartsson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Kvik Halden in only three days.

Lillestrøm are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 4 goals in 4 matches. 4 goals have been conceded.

Odd form and stats

Odd, who have the fewest conceded goals (6) in Eliteserien, are doing rather OK so far in their away games, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss). The fact that Odd have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Odd love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.

Odd are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Eliteserien against Ranheim. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Tromsø at their stadium, the result 2-1.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Odd in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for Odd, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Odd now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A NM Cup game at Arendal is waiting in only three days.

Odd are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 3 away goals from 3 games. Odd have conceded 3 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's 1 Lillestrøm victory, 3 draws and 6 Odd wins. 5 of these games ended with three goals or more, 5 matches with two goals or less.
