While international football is in its heat right now, many people forget that there are some domestic leagues underway. A prime example of one such league is the Norwegian Eliteserien. Much like other Nordic leagues it is played from spring to autumn. And right now it is being picked up again amid summer with Lillestrom vs KFUM Oslo being one of the interesting ties.
Lillestrom Team News
Although currently 11th with 13 points to their name, Lillestrom can potentially tuck themselves in the top 7 in the league and displace KFUM Oslo should they manage to win here. Before the break in the Eliteserien, the team managed to win on the road and during the pause they played one friendly game which was also won by Lillestrom. All in all, it seems that the team ended on a high note and has managed to retain it throughout the break. What is worrisome is that Lillestrom has not managed to win any of their home games since the start of the season. But their Eliteserien games usually feature many goals, with their latest 4 having 3 goals minimum.
KFUM Oslo Team News
Prior to the short break in the Eliteserien, KFUM Oslo was on a streak – 3 consecutive league games in which they reached a draw. And while they lost in their only friendly it was still riddled with goals, 5 to be exact. A quick look at their most recent league games will reveal a similar story. Four of KFUM’s last 5 Eliteserien games featured not only over 2.5 goals, but rather over 3.5 goals with the team themselves often managing to score 2 or 3, but at the same time also conceding regularly. Away form is also rather good for them as they have recorded 2 wins and a draw in their last 3 league trips. Notable results there include a win over Rosenborg and a draw with Bodo/Glimt.
Head-to-Head-Games
Curiously enough, the last time these two teams met was in a friendly game in March as part of both team’s league preparations. Lillestrom won 3-1 but that is the only recent game between these clubs. Before this friendly, Lillestrom and KFUM last met one another in 2020 in Norway’s second tier.
Lillestrom – KFUM Oslo Betting Prediction
Looking at previous games from these two sides one thing is obvious – their games tend to feature goals. Lillestrom has also been abysmal at home, yet to win a league game in front of their fans. KFUM has had some impressive away fixtures as of late which also saw goals aplenty. With that in mind, my pick here is for over 2.5 goals. If the friendly before the league start is anything to go by as well, goals are to be expected here.
Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals
