Back the favourites in Norway
The bookmakers have Stromsgodset IF as the big 1.29 favorites for their home game against Lyn Oslo at Marienlyst Stadion in Norway on Saturday. Lyn, with a recent 2-1-3 run, are the long shots with the odds of 7.65 and the draw is priced at 5.85. It's easy to see why this game is unbalanced in the bookmaker's eyes – the home team are a solid top-three team and the away team are languishing in the bottom half.
Stromsgodset have been a bit all over the place in recent weeks with a 2-2-1 win-draw-loss record in their last 5 games in all current competitions. A 2-2 home draw with Odds Ballklubb and a 4-3 away loss to Hoedd is a pretty wild run of results, but it keeps them in contention at the top of the table.
Sebastian Pingel is Stromsgodset's spark, he has 8 goals in their 20 from the last 5 games, and he always has a chance in the penalty box.
Lyn can cause an upset
Recent form
Lyn Oslo have lost form recently, winning just 1 of their last 5 in all competitions, losing 4 of those. They lost 1-4 at home to Hoedd last time out, games that show the attacking potential of the team but also the frailty of the defensive unit.
Manager and players
Magnus Aadland has had a good effect on Lyn since he took over on 4th June 2025. The team has played with energy, youth and a front-foot mentality, but the club is paying the price as they are 13th in the league table.
Anders Bjoerntvedt Olsen is one of the most influential players with 4 assists in his last 5, always looking to get the ball to the attackers. Andreas Hellum has been the sharpest finisher in recent games for Lyn with 4 goals in the last 5. He is a good player to watch when Lyn are in transition.
The home advantage
Stromsgodset's home form and Lyn's away form should be enough to suggest that this game looks more like a home statement than a shock upset.
Tactics and betting
- Stromsgodset are a more solid and structured team, playing a 4-2-3-1 system with a controlled style of play, a medium-high press and a team that knows where the ball is going when they win it back.
- Lyn are a more vertical and faster team, pressing all over the pitch and looking to play a high-tempo game.
- Over 2.5 goals looks a smart bet at 1.22, given the attacking nature of these teams, while both teams to score also looks live at 1.46.
