Lillestrom SK

vs

Viking Stavanger

Preview

Lillestrom SK

• Lillestrom SK have won 2 and lost 3 of their last 5 Eliteserien 2026 matches.
• The hosts are on a 2-game losing streak, having been beaten 2-0 away to Hamarkameratene just 1 day ago, while Viking are coming off a 2-1 away win over Kristiansund BK and a 6-3 home demolition of Start.

Viking Stavanger

• Viking Stavanger are the division’s in-form team, having won 5 Eliteserien 2026 games in a row.
• Viking Stavanger are in top form, winning 5 Eliteserien 2026 games on the spin, but will face a stern test at the home of Lillestrom SK on Saturday.

Head-to-Head

• Viking are the favourites at 2.1 here with Lillestrom 2.9, which seems odd to us, given how in-form the visitors are and the fact that Lillestrom haven’t beaten Viking in their last 2 games at home.
• Viking have the superior overall record in the last 5 head-to-head clashes in all competitions (Won 3, Lost 1, Drawn 1).

Key Players

• Felix Va is Lillestrom’s spark in behind the striker, providing 3 assists in their last 5 and playing a key role in set-piece routines.
• Peter Christiansen, Viking’s danger man up front, has netted 5 goals in his last 5 matches.

Betting Insights

• The Over 2.5 goals market is very short at 1.53 here, but there is justification for this, given the attacking intent of both sides and the number of goals that have been scored in their recent games.
• Viking are the favourites at 2.1 with Lillestrom 2.9.

Prediction

• Jensen’s team have won 3 in a row away from home and, although Lillestrom’s home form is steadier than their overall record, we’re taking the road warriors to secure the win here, although Lillestrom’s attacking threat could make it interesting.
• This clash will be closely fought, but Viking have all the momentum and a better record in this fixture.
