Match description
I forecast an away win (2). Viking sit 2nd in the table and have 10 wins this season versus Lillestrøm’s 8; the visitors have won 4 of their last 5 matches and scored 12 goals in that period while the hosts scored 8. Viking average 14.33 shots per game vs 11.33 for Lillestrøm and have a higher xG — 1.66 vs 1.41 — indicating better quality of created chances, despite equal shots on target (4.17). Lillestrøm compensate with greater home efficiency (conversion rate 19% and 2.17 goals per game), but their defence concedes 1.17 goals per game at home vs Viking’s 0.83 on the road, and the visitors have 33% clean sheets vs 17% for the hosts. Considering the advantage in xG, shot volume and recent form points (2.4 vs 1.8 over the last 5), I give Viking a slight edge, although I expect goals from both sides.
