Competition: Norway Eliteserien
Competition: Thu 27.May
Match begins: 16:00 (UTC)
Venue: Åråsen Stadion (12234 seats)

It's early days in the Eliteserien and both Lillestrøm and Odd are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

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 16 games on grass have ended in 2 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses.

Lillestrøm form and stats

Lillestrøm's first Eliteserien home game here at Åråsen Stadion ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats from 15 matches.

Lillestrøm's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-3 versus Viking (placed 4th). Jonatan Braut Brunes, who plays in attack, was the top performer for the team in that game, scoring a rating of 7.43 (out of 10). Brunes scored one goal.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Strømsgodset (1-3).

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 six matches with the results: Won three, drawn two and lost one.

The manager G. Bakke will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Kristiansund in only three days.

At Åråsen Stadion, Lillestrøm has the goal stats of 1-3 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.

Odd form and stats

One match played away so far in the Eliteserien for Odd and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were 5 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses from 15 games.

Odd's last game was the home draw against Sarpsborg 08 (1-1). Midfielder Marcus Andre Kaasa was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.62. Kaasa had 45 successful passes (of 53 total). The draw against Sarpsborg 08 came from a losing position. The Odd manager J. Nornes brought on Filip Rønningen Jørgensen as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.

A 2-2 draw at Stabæk's stadium before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Odd playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were two Odd wins, two draws and five defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Bodø / Glimt in just three days.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Odd has managed 2 goals and let in 2 from 1 match.

Head 2 Head

Lillestrøm-Odd H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Lillestrøm one win, Odd seven wins, two draws. six of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
