Lillestrøm SK vs Molde FK Prediction: Veton Berisha to find the back of the net

On Sunday, when they travel to Arasen Stadion to take on Lillestrom, Molde will be looking for their first win of the season in order to keep their hopes alive. Provided below are previews, possible lineups, expert tips, and odds.

Lillestrøm

As a result of winning the rescheduled game against Stromsgodset. They suffered a defeat at the hands of the Vikings previously in the season's second game. Five goals have been conceded by Geir Bakke's squad in the first two games against Viking and Stromsgodset.

In their last eleven games in all competitions, including NM Cupen games and preseason games, Lillestrom have scored at least two goals in ten of those games, making them seem considerably better on the offensive end of the game.

Bakke's men will enter this contest with strong morale following their thrilling comeback victory over Stromsgodset the previous weekend.

Molde

Molde, which won the previous season's title, got off to a sluggish start in the next one. Their primary issues arise in the last third of the pitch since a return of only one goal from their first two contests is significantly below the standard expected of the champions.

It's no secret that Molde lost their star striker, David Datro Fofana, to Chelsea and replaced him with Veton Berisha, who spent last season playing in Sweden before returning.

Experienced and high-profile attacker Veton Berisha is yet to produce for the new club in 2023 after earning 10 caps for Norway.

Against a Lillestrom defence that has been shaky so far this season, Berisha should feel confident about scoring his first goal of the season.

Possible Lineups

Lillestrøm - Mads Christiansen (GK), Martin Ove Roseth, Espen Garnas, Ruben Gabrielsen, Lars Mogstad Ranger, Gjermund Asen, Ylldren Ibrahimaj, Magnus Knudsen, Vetle Dragsnes, Akor Adams, Thomas Lehne Olsen.

Molde - Jacob Karlstrøm (GK), Benjamin Hansen, Eirik Haugan, Anders Hagelskjaer, Martin Linnes, Kristian Eriksen, Emil Breivik, Eric Kitolano, Mathias Fjörtoft Lövik, Magnus Eikrem, Veton Berisha.

Expert Betting Tips

It's expected that the reigning champion will win this match because they'll do whatever it takes to get back on track. Even if the host team scores at some point throughout the contest, they will still end up on the losing end of the result.

Due to the fact that Veton Berisha has not yet scored for his new team this season, he has a good chance of scoring in this encounter.
