Lillestrøm SK vs Strømsgodset IF Prediction: The Birds will be able to salvage three points

The match between Lillestrom and Stromsgodset that was originally scheduled for the first round of the Eliteserien will now take place at Arsen Stadion on Wednesday, April 19th. Before this game, the Canaries were defeated by the Vikings, resulting in a loss of three points, whereas Godset was victorious and defeated Aalesund.

Lillestrøm

The Canaries were unable to carry over their winning spirit from the Friendlies and the NM Cup into their first game of the Eliteserien and were defeated by Viking by a score of 2-0. The scoring began in the 76th minute with a goal by Sondre Bjorshol, and Patrick Yazbek added another goal in the last seconds of regulation. The team's manager, Geir Bakke, will have a completely healthy squad to work with, allowing him to concentrate on getting back to winning ways.

In their most recent five matches across all competitions, Lillestrom has recorded four victories. The Canaries will also be confident about the home advantage due to the fact that they have not lost any of their last six games played at Arasen Stadion, where they have won four of those contests.

Strømsgodset

At Marienlyst Stadion, Godset prevailed over Aalesund in their first league game, which was played against the visitors. Gustav Valsvik scored the lone goal of the match three minutes before halftime to ensure that Stromsgodset would walk away with all three points. Lars Vilsvik will be sidelined with a hamstring injury, so the team's preparation will be slightly hindered.

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.

Strømsgodset - Viljar Myhra(GK), Gustav Valsvik, Ari Leifsson, F. Kristensen Dahl, L. C. Vilsvik, Herman Stengel, Jack Ipalibo, Ole Kristian Enersen, T. Fjeld Gulliksen, Jostein.

Expert Betting Tips

These two teams have played each other a total of five times over the past five years, and four of those five matches have ended in BTTS trends. Before the start of this match, Lillestrom had scored at least one goal in each of their previous six matches played at Arasen Stadion. The Canaries, on the other hand, failed to record a single shutout during that time. On the other hand, Godset has scored in four of the most recent five away matches, even though they have conceded goals in all of those matches. Based on these trends, we anticipate goals to be scored on both ends during this matchup.

In addition, Lillestrom has prevailed over Stromsgodset in four of the last five encounters that have taken place at Arasen Stadion. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the Birds will be able to salvage three points from this contest.
