Lillestrøm SK

LWDLLL 📉

After suffering a loss in their previous game against Strømsgodset IF in Eliteserien competition, Lillestrøm SK and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that match, Lillestrøm SK managed 54% possession and 16 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. For Lillestrøm SK, the scorers were Ruben Gabrielsen (5') and Thomas Lehne Olsen (37'). At the other end, Stromsgodset got 25 shots on goal with 13 on target. Elias Melkersen (6', 94') and Nikolaj Möller (71') scored for Strømsgodset IF.

Lillestrøm SK have regularly broken through opposing defences of late, scoring 9 times in their last 6 matches. While their manager will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Lillestrøm SK can also improve defensively after being scored against in 6 of those same outings. That aside, it remains to be seen whether that pattern might be maintained here in this game.

Coming into this contest, Lillestrøm SK are without an away win for the past 3 league games.

Markus Henriksen (Knee injury), Erlend Dahl Reitan (Muscle injury) and Noah Sahsah (Cruciate ligament tear) will not be able to play for Rosenborg BK manager Alfred Johansson.

In our view, Troillongan may well make use of the 4-3-3 formation in the match featuring Sander Tangvik, Adrian Pereira, M. Konradsen Ceide, Tomas Nemcik, U. Y. Jenssen, Edvard Tagseth, Ole Kristian Selnaes, Santeri Vaeaenaenen, Marius Broholm, Noah Holm and Jesper Reitan-Sunde.

Lillestrøm SK has not got a full squad to pick from. Martin Ove Roseth (unknown injury), Mads Hedenstad (Ankle surgery) and Lars Ranger (Cruciate ligament surgery) will not be playing here.

There’s a good chance that Kanarifuglene might play in a 3-4-2-1 lineup using Stefan Hagerup, Espen Garnaas, Sander Moen Foss, Ruben Gabrielsen, Ylldren Ibrahimaj, Frederik Elkaer, Vebjoern Hoff, Gjermund Aasen, M. S. Karlsbakk, Felix Va and Thomas Lehne Olsen.
