The Lillestrøm & Åsane managers G. Bakke and M. Rössland are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Obos-Ligaen league table.
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 Åsane.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Åsane 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 2-2-3 (win-draw-loss) from seven matches.
Åsane are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
Lillestrøm form and stats
Lillestrøm, who have the fewest conceded goals (22) in Obos-Ligaen, have performed here at Åråsen Stadion this season with 7 wins from 11 Obos-Ligaen matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 2. Ever since the Raufoss game Lillestrøm has been unbeatable here at Åråsen Stadion producing six straight wins.
The Lillestrøm goalkeeper Mads Christiansen is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 180 minutes without conceding a goal in the Obos-Ligaen.
Happy days for Lillestrøm in their previous game, a Obos-Ligaen match away at Sogndal (placed 3rd) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Tromsø in a game that was won 3-0.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (22 in 11 games), Lillestrøm's attacking play is working. Lillestrøm are not conceding a lot of goals here at Åråsen Stadion in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 10 from 11 matches.
Åsane form and stats
5-3-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Åsane, who have the most scored goals (26) away in Obos-Ligaen, in their Obos-Ligaen matches away.
H. Udahl (2), K. Valsvik and H. Lorentzen scored in Åsane's previous match, the home game against Ullensaker / Kisa that ended 4-2. Prior to that match, the Åsane manager M. Rössland faced defeat when travelling to HamKam and losing 1-2.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Åsane, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
The Åsane manager M. Rössland has got the team scoring on the road, with 26 away goals in 12 league matches. Åsane's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 19 goals from these trips.
