Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

8 - 6 - 5 with 30-25. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Vålerenga when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Vålerenga play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.

Lillestrøm are battling for top spots and have everything to play for. Vålerenga are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Lillestrøm form and stats

When playing at home in the Eliteserien, Lillestrøm have managed 6 wins, 2 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 12 games.

A strong away win for Lillestrøm against Rosenborg the last match, as Thomas Lehne Olsen, Ifeanyi Mathew and Tom Pettersson were on target. Midfield player Ifeanyi Mathew got a match rating of 7.61 in that game, the max score being 10. Mathew scored one goal, hit one key pass and had 37 successful passes (of 42 total).

Before that, Lillestrøm had a home game versus Stabæk which ended with a victory 3-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Lillestrøm perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lillestrøm as a small favourite), we find ten games. Lillestrøm has won six of these, drawn two and lost two.

The Lillestrøm fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 12 matches. On the other hand, Lillestrøm have conceded 12 goals.

Vålerenga form and stats

A 1-2 defeat away at Sarpsborg 08 before that.
