- Lillestrøm have scored in all their home matches so far.
- Sarpsborg 08 have the fewest scored goals (11) in Eliteserien
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Lillestrøm and Sarpsborg 08.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Sarpsborg 08 have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 2-6-6 (win-draw-loss) from 14 matches.
Lillestrøm form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Åråsen Stadion as Lillestrøm have scored 9 goals to get 13 points from 6 games. The overall stats in the Eliteserien are 4-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).
Happy days for Lillestrøm in their previous game, a NM Cup match away at Funnefoss / Vormsund that ended with a 4-0 victory. As mentioned above, Lillestrøm "killed" Funnefoss / Vormsund in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
In the game before, an away victory in the Eliteserien match versus Stabæk with a 3-2 scoreline.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Lillestrøm have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found three games) they have won two times, drawn zero and lost one.
The Lillestrøm fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 9 goals in 6 league matches. Lillestrøm have conceded 6 in these home matches.
Sarpsborg 08 form and stats
2-1-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Sarpsborg 08, who have the fewest scored goals (11) in Eliteserien, in their Eliteserien matches away. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Sarpsborg 08 are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
It's the second away game in a row for Sarpsborg, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Kvik Halden in the NM Cup last time out.
Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Mjøndalen in the Eliteserien.Sarpsborg are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, three draws and five defeats. From a total of nine matches.
Sarpsborg 08 find the net regularly in their away games. 6 goals from 6 away fixtures in the league. Sarpsborg 08 have conceded 11 goals in these games.
