Lillestrom to Win
According to the statistics, there is a 33% chance for Lillestrom to win this match as they won four of their last seven away fixtures. Kristiansund meanwhile lost three and drew one of their four home games.
Over 2.5 Goals
In Lillestrom’s last 19 on the road fixtures, only once there was under 2.5 goals scored. Likewise, four of Kristiansund’s last five home outings produced the same number of goals,
Lillestrom 0/-0.5 Goals Handicap
With just one defeat all season, Lillestrom won eight and drew three Eliteserien fixtures since April. Thus in all 11 games, Lillestrom were capable of covering the goal handicaps of this bet.
Kristiansund must find a way to win games as soon as possible otherwise their destiny will be decided way before the end of the season. Indeed, the Owls have gathered just one point from nine games.
The fans must have expected a much better display from their team as they finished a respectable sixth last season. However, coach Christian Michelsen who is in charge of the team since 2014, is under immense pressure as his team faces big threats of relegation for the first time since they were promoted in 2016.
An almost perfect season was spoiled for Lillestrom in the last round as they suffered their first defeat of the season. In fact, it was a heavy one as well by 3-0 away to Stromsgodset. The Canaries were simply outplayed by their hosts as they managed just one shot on goal in over 90 minutes.
Lillestrom’s lead at the top is now in danger since second-placed Molde are two points behind with 25 points and have a game in hand. As a result, coach Geir Bakke’s team has no margins for errors moving on especially in Sunday’s game where it’s always tricky to play the bottom teams.
There is a huge difference between these teams in all aspects of the game and that is why Lillestrom are clear favorites. However, the odds are quite generous with 1.92 probably because of the Canaries’ last defeat. Still, we predict a Lillestrom win on Sunday.
