Lillestrom to Win
Lillestrom have won their last two encounters with Rosenborg, both of which arrived in 2021. The league leaders have also won three of their last five league games and boast a 100% record at home this season. Rosenborg have dropped points in four of their five away trips this season which does not bode well ahead of a trip to the league leaders.
Under 2.5 Goals

Under 2.5 goals were produced in each of the last three meetings between these two clubs at the home of Lillestrom, the last of which was a 2-0 win for the hosts.

Lillestrom looking to strengthen their lead at the top of the Eliteserien
Lillestrom travelled to Tromso for their last competitive fixture in late May where a goal from Kitolano saw the visitors trailing 1-0 at the interval. Lillestrom responded well in the second half though, equalising through Mathew on the hour mark before taking the lead in the 72nd minute via Dragsnes. However, the visitors couldn't see their lead through to the final whistle as Tromso scored a stoppage-time equaliser of their own to make the final scoreline 2-2.
