Lillestrom are an important traditional club in Eliteserien, but they are struggling recent times. Having barely escaped relegation in 2016, they are next to bottom again, with 11 points from 11 matches. The visitors only won three times in ten matches, and only Viking are behind them, but some optimism should be taken from their 4-1 win over the decent Tromso side on Sunday. That is definitely important for our Stabaek vs Lillestrom betting tips.
Stabaek are fifth with 18 points, but they can hardly be trusted in our Stabaek vs Lillestrom preview. The hosts only won once in the last six fixtures, and never managed to dominate opponents. Their recent home matches ended in draws – both against leaders Rosenborg and rock bottom Viking. A similar result should probably be expected once again here.
(Odds taken from Bet365)
Lillestrom should be very highly motivated not to lose and leave the relegation zone, and their aspirations are likely to be reasonable. Stabaek were almost relegated themselves last season, and there is no significant difference between the teams. Therefore, the best Stabaek vs Lillestrom predictions should take into account the good odds on a draw at 3.40. Both teams scored in the last three games of the hosts and the last four matches of the visitors, so the odds look good at 1.61.
