The Lillestrøm & Tromsø managers G. Bakke and G. Helstrup are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Obos-Ligaen league table.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
It's quite the trip for Tromsø when visiting Lillestrøm as the cities are 1700 kilometers apart.
Lillestrøm form and stats
Lillestrøm, who have the fewest conceded goals (22) in Obos-Ligaen, have performed here at Åråsen Stadion this season with 6 wins from 10 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 five straight wins.
No payout for Lillestrøm in their previous match, an away game at Raufoss that ended in defeat 0-2. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Sandnes Ulf in a game that was won 4-2.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Lillestrøm's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won one match, drawn zero and lost zero.
The manager G. Bakke will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Sogndal in only three days.
Lillestrøm have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Åråsen Stadion with 19 goals in 10 league matches. Lillestrøm have conceded 10 in these home matches.
Tromsø form and stats
6-2-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Tromsø, who have the the best goal difference (+26) in Obos-Ligaen, in their Obos-Ligaen matches away.
The supporters enjoyed Tromsø's previous game versus HamKam (placed 12th), a Obos-Ligaen 3-1 win played at home. A 2-4 defeat away at Stjørdals-Blink before that.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Tromsø when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing four times, drawing zero and winning zero games.
A quick return to home after this game, as Tromsø are hosting Kongsvinger in the Obos-Ligaen only three days away.
The travelling fans enjoy Tromsø's attacking play in away games, having scored 21 goals in 11 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Tromsø as they have only conceded 10 goals from these away games. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
The most recent history between these sides is the Tromsø - Lillestrøm 0-1 played earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Lillestrøm won eight games, one match ended with a draw and Tromsø has one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / sixTop Goalscorers
