Lillestrøm - Haugesund predictions

With the 1.70 being what they are, we don’t expect anything other than a home win. Pulling off anything else would be a gargantuan task for Haugesund, so we’d stay away unless you’re looking for a long shot on purpose.

The matchup this Sunday is rather one-sided, with Haugesund seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 4.64, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

,Åråsen Stadion proved to be fertile grounds for Lillestrøm in the previous round against Odd . They maintained an impressive lead throughout the match and secured a respectable 3:0 home win.

The odds were stacked against Haugesund in the previous game, even if they had home-field advantage. With bookies pricing their victory at 1.78, hoping for success was quite a long shot. As expected, they were already behind at halftime and ended up losing the bout 0:3.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Lillestrøm have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

Our confidence that Haugesund will manage to hold their composure in an away game is shaky. They have over 5 concessions on record in their latest 3 visiting games alone.

As far as any head-to-head stats are concerned, examples of recent clashes include a decisive victory Lillestrøm secured last season. They walked away with a considerable goal advantage, which is in line with their current position as favourites.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1 at 1xbet.
