The Norwegian Eliteserien returns this weekend after more than a month, and one of the potentially most interesting matches will be Fredrikstad and Lillestrom. Both teams are playing well this season, and it is a big question what form they will be in when they resume the domestic championship. Let's find the best bet for the upcoming tie.

Fredrikstad won three of the last four H2H matches against their next opponent. However, in the previous meeting, about a year ago, Lillestrom won after penalties in the cup. The two teams met this year, too, but in a friendly game in January, which ended 2-2.
Fredrikstad team overview
After two mid-table seasons, Fredrikstad are on course for another similar campaign. However, despite sitting in mid-table after 11 rounds, Casper Rojkjaer's side are only three points clear of the relegation zone, leaving little room for complacency. Before the break, Rojkjaer's team played well, collecting seven points in the last three matches. In the most recent Eliteserien game, Fredrikstad won 2-1 at home against Start. Since then, they have played three friendlies but have failed to triumph (two draws and one defeat).
Probably the most exciting Fredrikstad player from the earlier part of the 2026 season, midfielder Eirik Granaas, left the team to sign for Porto. The 16-year-old appeared in eight games this season. On the other hand, Fredrikstad signed attacking Gabriel Wesseh, who had four goals and seven assists for Atalanta Academy in the MLS Next Pro League last season.
Sigurd Kvile and Solomon Owusu are injured and will not play on Saturday against Lillestrom. Also, Leonard Owusu is questionable, and his status will get clearer closer to the kickoff.

Lillestrom team overview
Last season, Lillestrom played in the lower tier of the national football, and their only goal for 2026 is to avoid relegation. However, after the third of the competition, Hans Erik Odegaard's team is fourth in the standings, and it would come as little surprise if they emerged as genuine contenders for a UEFA Conference League qualifying spot. Although most of Lillestrom's campaign was impressive, Odegaard's team lost the last two games before the World Cup break. In the previous league match, they lost 2-0 against HamKam. In June, Lillestrom played three friendlies, winning once and losing twice.
Lillestrom completed one transfer this summer. They signed Fredrik Gulbrandsen from Molde. Still, the experienced forward will not join Lillestrom before next week, so he will not be with his new team in Fredrikstad on Saturday.
Besides Gulbrandsen, Lillestrom will also be without the injured Eric Kitolano.
