LillestrømForm guide
Lillestrøm are sixth with 36 points. In their last five league games they won 2-1 at Brann, 2-0 against Vålerenga and 2-0 at Sandefjord, drew 2-2 with Molde and lost 3-0 at Viking. On Thursday they lost 6-0 at home to Real Sociedad in the Europa League.
Brann are seventh with 29 points and have lost four of their last five league games: 2-1 at home to Lillestrøm, 2-0 at Start, 2-0 at home to Viking and 3-1 at Vålerenga. The exception was a 2-1 win over Bodø/Glimt.
Head-to-head
Lillestrøm won the reverse fixture 2-1 in Bergen in September. Before that, Brann had won four league visits to Lillestrøm in a row, including 2-0 in both October 2023 and May 2024.
Team news
Brann are short of players. Sørensen is suspended, Mathisen, Kjartansson and Tronstad are out, and Nygård, Guðmundsson and Cornic are doubts. Lillestrøm are without Garnås and Jebara.
Our prediction and why
We take Over 1.5 goals. All five of Lillestrøm's last league games had at least two goals, and so did all five of Brann's. Lillestrøm conceded six on Thursday, and each of the last eight league and cup meetings we found had two or more goals.
Other bets to consider
Neither side fits our match-result rules. Over 2.5 goals is about 1.44 if you want a bigger price, but neither team has scored three in any of its last five league games.
