Lillestrøm form and stats

After this away game Lillestrøm return home for a Obos-Ligaen game against HamKam. That game is only four sleeps after this.

It's a day of discovery for Lillestrøm as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Lillestrøm have played eight with the results W4-D2-L2 (win-draw-lost). In these games Lillestrøm has scored 18 goals and conceded 11 times.

The last season was not a pleasant experience for Lillestrøm as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 7 victories from 30 games, relegation was a fact. Lillestrøm's manager G. Bakke are hoping to lead the team right back to Eliteserien at the first attempt.
