General match analysis
Viking are extremely strong at home: they have won every home match, averaging 3.89 goals per game and dropping no points in the process. The hosts also create significantly more chances, with an average xG of 2.09 compared to Lillestrøm’s 1.42, while they register 7.67 shots on target per match against 4.3 for the visitors. Lillestrøm arrive after winning 4 of their last 5 league matches, but they score just 1.1 goals per away game and fail to find the net in as many as 40% of those fixtures. The visitors’ defence concedes an average of 1.1 goals, but allows opponents an xG of 1.70, which is a problematic matchup against such a clinical Viking side. The hosts’ superior attacking quality and perfect home record point to a Viking victory.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The strongest argument for both teams to score is their current form: Viking recorded BTTS in 100% of their last 5 matches, while Lillestrøm did so in 60%, averaging 3.0 and 2.0 goals scored, respectively. Both teams create enough chances, with average xG figures of 2.07 for Viking and 1.31 for Lillestrøm, while the visitors average 4.3 shots on target per match compared with 3.7 for the hosts. Lillestrøm’s defense allowed opponents an xG of 1.82 over their last five matches, which clearly supports a goal for an in-form Viking side. The risk to the pick is the visitors’ season profile: they keep a clean sheet in 40% of matches and fail to score in 40%. However, their recent attacking efficiency and Viking’s average xG conceded of 1.47 suggest that this trend could be broken. The BTTS - Yes scenario is therefore more likely than BTTS - No, meaning that at least one team fails to score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Viking are in excellent attacking form: they have scored 15 goals in their last five matches, averaging 3.0 per game, while their current xG stands at 2.07. Over the same period, Lillestrøm scored 10 goals and created chances worth an average of 1.31 xG, while Viking conceded an average of 1.4 goals per match. Over 2.5 goals landed in 80% of the teams’ last five matches, and the league average of 3.15 goals also supports an open game scenario. However, the strongest signal is Over 1.5, as Viking have had at least two goals in 100% of their matches this season, compared with 80% for Lillestrøm, significantly reducing the risk of a low-scoring game.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The most likely HT/FT outcome is a draw at half-time followed by a Viking win, as Lillestrøm were level at the break in 60% of their matches, while Viking were leading at that stage in only 40%. The first half should also be closely contested statistically: the hosts average 0.8 goals before the break, compared with 0.3 for the visitors, while both sides concede an average of 0.7 and 0.6 goals, respectively. After the interval, Viking’s superior form becomes clear: in their last five matches, they have averaged 1.8 goals scored and just 0.2 conceded in second halves, compared with Lillestrøm’s 0.8 scored and 0.6 conceded. The hosts have won 3 of their last 5 matches, and their average of 3.0 goals scored during this period exceeds the visitors’ 2.0. However, Lillestrøm are also enjoying an excellent run, with 4 wins in their last 5 fixtures, so HT/FT scenarios involving an away win retain a significant share of the forecast.
