Lillestrøm - Viking predictions

The visitors understand the difficulty of the task at hand. To beat Lillestrøm on their own turf would be a major feat, and it is always a tough challenge.

Viking will need to bring their top form if they want 3 points from this matchup – and they do. Lillestrøm are not easy pickings, although the visitors are widely seen as close favourites.

Lillestrøm are coming on the back of a crushing 5:0 away defeat at the hands of HamKam . The odds were against them from the start, and they never managed to recover from the early lead HamKam grabbed.

The visiting team were fighting an uphill battle in last round’s away game against Fredrikstad. Neither Eliteserien betting tips nor the bookies themselves were too optimistic about their chances, so the 3:2 defeat was hardly a defeat. Still, the narrow goal difference implies a reasonably decent performance.

Lillestrøm’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 8 goals throughout their latest three Eliteserien matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

Viking fans have a lot of cause for concern – with 7 concessions in their latest 3 away games, their track record seems to indicate a tendency to underperform in away games.

Viking were soundly defeated the last time they clashed with Lillestrøm in the previous season. This upset would have been less painful if not for the considerable goal difference at the final whistle. They’re still more likely to win this game, though.

An exciting match is in store as both teams have their full lineups available due to no suspensions or injuries.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.53 odds offered at Betway.
