Insights:
  • Odd have the most clean sheets (5) in Eliteserien
  • Lillestrøm have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Eliteserien

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Lillestrøm have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 16-5-10 (win-draw-loss) from 31 matches.

This looks to be an absorbing game with lots of spark and bustle as both sides are well renewed since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

Odd form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Odd's two home games in the Eliteserien so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Skagerak Arena.

Happy days for Odd in their previous game, a fixture away at Tromsø (placed 6th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Finally, a league victory after three games without. Manager Johansen felt very clever after Bang-Kittilsen scored the winning goal against Tromsø, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 73rd minute. Tomas was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.85 out of 10. The defender Tomas served one assist, hit one key pass and won 1 of 2 duels.

Heartbreak before that as Odd lost 0-2 at Bodø / Glimt's place.

A fact: This club have finished 6 league matches in a row with only one (or none) side finding the net.

The manager Johansen will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Viking in only four days.

Early season league goal statistics from Odd's 2 home games: {2 goals}, 0 conceded.

Lillestrøm form and stats

Lillestrøm, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Eliteserien, are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Eliteserien, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).

Lillestrøm might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Bodø / Glimt proved too strong as Lillestrøm slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Åråsen Stadion. That defeat was their first after three consecutive league fixtures winning points. Midfield player Hoff was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.31/10. Hoff dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 48 successful passes (of 53 total).

Before that one, a nice away victory 4-3 at Vålerenga.

A quick return to home after this game, as Lillestrøm are hosting Sarpsborg 08 in the Eliteserien only four days away.

Lillestrøm have the goal stats of 4-5 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
