Lillestrøm - Sarpsborg 08 betting tips and odds

With bookies pricing a home win at 1.98, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

The away team’s chances of winning this Monday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with Lillestrøm, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

Lillestrøm will have been delighted with their result from the last round of the Eliteserien. They were the overwhelming underdogs heading into their last league trip and their fans were not exactly confident their team would return home with anything in the bag. However, a brave first-half display saw Lillestrøm take the lead and earn a gigantic point after the break, in what turned out to be a rather surprising Bodø / Glimt draw.

Sarpsborg 08 managed to win their latest home outing against Odd, if only by a hairpin. Most betting predictions expected more from them considering the balance of power was in their favour, though, and a narrow 1:0 is nothing be excited about.

Lillestrøm’s attackers have been seeing a lot of success lately, even in away matches. For instance, they scored 7 times during the course of their previous three away games.

With 7 goals in their previous 3 Eliteserien matches, Sarpsborg 08 boast some of the most prolific strikers of the league. Top online bookies are predicting another action-packed game.

Lillestrøm clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, though it doesn’t seem insurmountable by any means. They won despite a home-field disadvantage the last time they clashed with Sarpsborg 08, but it was a rather narrow victory.

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.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.98. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
