Viking, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 away win over Stromsgodset in their last league game, Viking will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They achieved 55% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Stromsgodset's tally of 18 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 8 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 7, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 21 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They have put together a nice run of home form recently, managing to go undefeated in 5 matches out of their last 6 at SR-Bank Arena and recording 3 wins in that same period.
On an individual basis, Lars-Jørgen Salvesen will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Viking's last 6 league games.
Lillestrom, Recent FormLillestrom will not be too disheartened with their 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Brann who sit 12 places above them in the table. In that game they had 39% possession and managed 8 attempts on goal, with 0 on target, compared to Brann who had 15 attempts and 6 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Andreas Georgson will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 4 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
Thomas Lehne Olsen will be hoping to create problems for Viking in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Lillestrom.
Lillestrom suffered the disappointment of a 1-3 defeat at the hands of Viking the last time they met in the league.
Playing at home, Viking have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Lillestrom.
Viking has won the last 2 games they've played against Lillestrom in the league.
Viking manager Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Sondre Bjørshol (Hamstring), Nick D'Agostino (Ankle) and Kristoffer Løkberg (Broken ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Despite Lars Ranger (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season Lillestrom manager Andreas Georgson will be pleased to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from ahead of this fixture.
