Tight game anticipated at Fredrikstad Stadion
Fredrikstad FK are 10th in the Norway Eliteserien 2026 with 14 points from 11 games, while Lillestrom SK are 4th with 19 points from 11. The hosts have been a tough nut to crack but have lacked sharpness at the other end recently, while the visitors have been in a slump.
The form charts for both sides don't make great reading for this Saturday's game at Fredrikstad Stadion in Norway and the stats are telling a tale of two sides who will struggle to break each other down.
They drew 2-2 with Fredrikstad on their ground 5 months ago and they have failed to win on their last 2 trips to this ground. Lillestrom are the slight favorites at 2.47, with Fredrikstad at 2.84 and the draw at 3.46.
- Fredrikstad FK's last 5 games in all current competitions have been a mixed bag of 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat, which has kept them hard to beat but short on cutting edge.
- Lillestrom SK are in the midst of a bad run which has seen them lose 4 straight games, including a 2-0 away defeat to Ham-Kam and a 1-0 away loss to Danish side FC Midtjylland.
Lillestrom will be the more likely winners
Form and players
Lillestrom SK are in a rough patch and need to turn things around fast if they are going to get back into a good position in the division.
Lillestrom's games have tended to be a little open recently, but the last 5 games have seen 6 goals, with Camil Jebara scoring 2 of them to make him the team's sharpest attacking outlet.
Tactics and prediction
Lillestrom boss Hans Erik Oedegaard has had a good start since taking the helm on 1 January 2025, creating a high-tempo, proactive side that presses opponents and attacks in waves. Fredrikstad FK boss Casper Roejkjaer, who has been in charge since 20 May 2026, has created a compact, narrow team that have kept things tidy and are hard to break down.
With Lillestrom's possession-heavy pressing game and Fredrikstad's low block and set-piece threat, this could be a game of chess. Lillestrom will come out on top on paper, but the hosts are well placed to make it tough. Under 2.5 goals is a clever bet at 2.04, as Fredrikstad's compact nature should suit this style of game and Lillestrom's recent struggle to finish chances.
