General match analysis

Brann come into this match in clearly better form: they have scored 11 goals in their last five games, winning 3 and suffering no defeats, while Lillestrøm have scored just 4 goals during that period and won only once. At home, the hosts create more high-quality chances, averaging 2.03 xG and 5.89 shots on target per match, compared with Lillestrøm’s 1.48 xG and 4.33 shots on target away from home.

Brann’s advantage in current form, their 65% average possession at home and their attacking potential point towards a home win.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The stronger signal is BTTS - No, as Lillestrøm averaged just 1.00 goal per game throughout the season and only 0.8 across their last 5 matches. Brann have clearly improved defensively, conceding 3 goals in their last five fixtures — 0.6 per game — while allowing opponents an average xG of 1.29. Over the season, Lillestrøm matches featured goals from both teams in only 22% of cases, and the team failed to score in 44% of their games. The hosts should have a good chance of finding the net, having recently averaged 2.2 goals per game, while the visitors’ low attacking potential increases the likelihood of a result with one team kept scoreless.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

Brann are in excellent attacking form: they have scored 11 goals in their last five matches, averaging 2.2 per game, while Lillestrøm have conceded 8 goals over the same period. The home side should have the upper hand, as supported by their xG of 1.89 across their last five matches and just 0.6 goals conceded per game. At the same time, the visitors have recently averaged only 0.8 goals per match, and over the course of the season they have failed to score in as many as 44% of their games. The 3.5 line is also supported by their season profiles: 56% of Brann’s matches and 78% of Lillestrøm’s matches finished with fewer than four goals, while both teams have very rarely been involved in games featuring five or more goals. A total of 2-3 goals is the most likely outcome, making Under 3.5 the strongest value pick.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

Brann are in clearly better form: over their last five matches, they have averaged 2.2 goals scored and 0.6 conceded, remaining unbeaten, while Lillestrøm have scored 0.8 goals per game and lost 40% of their matches. The hosts held a lead at the break in 60% of their last five appearances, whereas the visitors were never ahead at half-time and were trailing after the first half in 60% of cases.
