Lillestrøm SK come into the game having previously beat Kristiansund 3-1 away from home in the Eliteserien.
It was Kristiansund who opened the scoring after only 19 minutes and they did well to keep the visitors at bay until the 79th minute of the match.
However, having equalised, Lillestrøm SK scored two more goals in the final 6 minutes to take maximum points.
That result means Lillestrøm SK have won 4 of their 5 most recent competitive fixtures, with 3 wins coming in the Eliteserien and one win in the NM Cupen.
Trends show in their 22 most recent matches of Eliteserien, Lillestrøm SK have been undefeated 19 times.
They have not been beaten in their last 11 straight home clashes in Eliteserien and have won each of their 8 most recent Eliteserien matches at the Åråsen Stadion. Lillestrøm SK have scored 2 or more goals in 6 of their last 8 home league fixtures.
Viking FK travel to the Åråsen Stadion on the back of a 1-1 draw at home with Rosenborg. It was the away team who opened the scoring in the 29th minute but Viking FK equalised in the 66th minute. Both teams had a player sent off in the closing minutes of the match.
That result means Viking FK have recorded only 1 win from their 7 most recent fixtures in all competitions. The win came away to Vard in the NM Cupen and Viking FK have failed to win any of their 6 most recent Eliteserien games.
In fact, Viking FK have lost 3 of their last 4 league matches, with the defeats coming against Strømsgodset and Haugesund away plus Sandefjord at home.
Trends show Viking FK have managed to score at least one goal in all their last 17 away matches in Eliteserien and both teams scored in their last 6 league games.
Looking ahead to the team news and Lillestrøm SK will be without suspended midfielder Gjermund Asen. Top scorer, Akor Adams should start the game in attack for the hosts.
Viking FK also have a player suspended and Zlatko Tripic will have to sit this one out. Veton Berisha is the joint top scorer in the Norwegian topflight this season and will play up-front.
Viking FK have the ability to score goals in this game but they have been off form of late whereas Lillestrøm SK have been excellent at home. Therefore, we expect the hosts to come out on top in this game, winning with both teams finding the back of the net.
