Key Players

Betting Insights

• That makes the away team a tempting play here in a match where the odds slightly favor FC Lyn Oslo at 2.71 ahead of Sandnes at 2.28 and the draw at 3.68.
• Over 2.5 goals at 1.42 looks a good fit for the attacking nature of both outfits and the fact that they both have shaky defensive records.

Prediction

• The head-to-head and recent form of both clubs make this a tough game to call with FC Lyn Oslo perhaps the more likely winner.
• We will take them to gain the spoils in what will be a tense matchup.
• The clash of styles should also be a factor with Sandnes preferring to play compact and Lyn wanting to stretch the game, so there will be a chess match aspect to the fixture between the discipline of the hosts and the front-foot pressure of the visitors.
