Lillestrøm - Odd predictions

A quick look at the betting odds with some of the biggest bookmakers online is enough to tell you who the favourites are. Priced at 1.62, a home win seems the obvious choice. An upset is not quite impossible, mind you, which adds a small degree of risk but is ultimately food increasing profits.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 4.94 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

A Fredrikstad defeat is something Lillestrøm want to make a swift return from. This narrow loss from the previous round of the Eliteserien came after a tied first half which had the host believing they might get at least a point in front of their home support.

Top online bookmakers priced Odd winning their previous match at 7.50, implying that such an outcome was almost impossible, especially due to the home-field disadvantage. That’s why the early lead they took and the 3:3 draw they eventually secured can be considered a fairly good outcome for them.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Lillestrøm’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

Odd’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 6 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

Sunday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

A Home Win at the odds of 1.64 is the most likely outcome here with decent value and a strong probability of success. This doesn’t seem like a good opportunity to take unnecessary risks.
