Lillestrom vs Viking FK Predictions

• Lillestrom are the only side with a 100% win rate in home league games (W6).
• Viking failed to win six of their last seven matches.
• Viking picked up just 32% of their total points away from home.

Arasen Stadion is an impenetrable fortress

Looking to win their first Norwegian championship since 1989, Lillestrom have began in fine fashion with six home wins from six, helping them to maintain a slender lead at the peak of the table.

Lillestrom boss Geir Bakke failed to win eight of his 11 personal encounters with Viking (W3, D2, L6) yet it appears that the tide is turning and with his side in the ascendency, he will be looking for a third personal home win over his old adversaries.

That terrific home form has been built on solid foundations, Lillestrom have conceded just once here this term and that was only in their most recent encounter (3-1 W vs Rosenborg).

Viking also prefer home comforts

Sitting in third place are Viking, who largely owe their position to their own formidable home record (W4, D3, L1). However their leaky away form which has seen them concede over two goals per-match on average paints a much bleaker picture of their chances in this encounter (W2, D1, L3).

Visiting boss Morten Jensen oversaw a stunning league double over Lillestrom last season by a combined 8-2 scoreline, yet recent form points to this clash being a much more close run affair.

We predict that the value lies with Lillestrom here at a shade better than evens, with a small stakes play on a workmanlike 2-0 home win looking like a solid pick in the correct score market.
