What does the statistics say?

Lillestrom are clearly the highest scorers and have not lost in the league this season, with strong numbers both home and away: 64 goals in 24 matches and only 15 conceded makes them one of the favorites in the division. Lyn score fewer goals per match (1.5), but are much better away (1.9) than at home (1.2). Lillestrom also have more clean sheets (12) compared to Lyn’s 7.

Risks and tactical points

  • Lillestrom: dangerous in the latter part of the first half (31-45) and steady through the second half. Strong efficiency from the penalty spot (4/4).
  • Lyn: score frequently in the final half-hour (61-90), so the match can be decided late. Have shown ability to keep a clean sheet away (6 away matches without conceding).
  • Both teams are relatively disciplined, but the intensity after the break (many cards 46-75) could be decisive.

Expected scenario and score suggestions

With Lillestrom’s impressive scoring rate and unbeaten league run, and Lyn’s weak home statistics, most indicators point toward a home win at Åråsen Stadium. At the same time, Lyn have the capacity to decide late and exploit transitions.

Suggestion: Lillestrom 2–1 Lyn. Alternatively a high-scoring Lillestrom win 3–1 if they gain early control.
