- Recent stats: Sogndal have scored 10 away goals in 1. Division 2026.
Lyn will look to press the pace in Sunday’s clash
Lyn
FC Lyn Oslo are in mixed form in 1. Division 2026 with 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses in their last 5 outings, however, their 6-2 thrashing of Aasane showed that they do have the ability to perform on the big stage. Their 1-1 away win over Strømsgodset was a great result that will keep the momentum going from that day.
Magnus Aadland has been head coach of Lyn since 4. juni 2025 and his teams have an attacking and development-oriented style. However, this season has been much more about balance and keeping a clean sheet.
Sogndal
Sogndal IL are in similar form with 2 wins and 3 losses in their last 5, and they have been a little up and down in terms of where they have been picking up points. The 3-2 win over Ranheim earlier today came off the back of a 5-1 thrashing away to Kongsvinger, and so they are not an easy team to predict.
Luis Pimenta has been at the helm since 1. januar 2025 and his side are structured, with a focus on player development and dynamic attacks.
Head-to-head
Lyn have won 4 of the last 5 matchups between the sides, including a 3-0 win on the road 3 months ago, so they will definitely have Sogndal's number. But the visitors have the firepower to be a threat if they find their groove, and should have the structure to keep it tight at the back.
Expect goals as Lyn are the favourites
Lyn have 14 points from 15 games to sit 14th in 1. Division 2026, while Sogndal are just above them in 11th place with 18 points from their 15 matches.
The home side are the slight favorites to win this game at 2.29, followed by Sogndal at 2.7 and the draw at 3.74. But the price on over 2.5 goals at 1.38 and both teams to score – yes – at 1.36 are much more attractive as Lyn have conceded 2.75 goals per game at home in 1. Division 2026, letting in 22 goals already at home this term.
Lyn are lacking balance
Form and tactics
Lyn have only won 2 of their 8 home games in 1. Division 2026 and their poor home record is a big reason why they have been in the relegation battle for the majority of the season.
However, the visitors have won just 1, drawn 2 and lost 5 of their 8 away games in 1. Division 2026 so they have had a hard time on the road this season, suggesting a tight game with Lyn just edging it. This stylistic clash could see Lyn lower the tempo and shorten the distance between their players, whereas Sogndal will try to slow things down and build up in more predictable patterns. This should be a goal-fest with chances at both ends.
Key players
Andreas Hellum is Lyn's most dangerous player with 5 goals in their last 5. The forward has been handed the responsibility of finding the net from his attacking role and he has done just that.
- Sogndal have an in-form striker in their own front line as Sebastian Pedersen has scored 3 of their 10 goals in 1. Division 2026 across the last 5 matches.
- Anders Bjoerntvedt Olsen has 4 assists in the same 5 games and he is the glue that keeps the attacking play flowing.
- For Sogndal, Kasper Skaanes is also on 4 assists in the same 5 matches and is the key player in their final third, being the main orchestrator of the final pass.
