- Competition: NM Cup

- Kickoff: 17:00 UK / 18:00 CEST
- Venue: Åråsen Stadion (Lillestrøm)
After being relegated from the Eliteserien last season, Lillestrøm appears well on track for a swift return to Norway's top flight. The team from Åråsen Stadion remains undefeated in 12 league matches in 2025, currently leading the standings with a four-point advantage over the next team on the table, Start. Although they experienced a brief dip in form with back-to-back draws, Lillestrøm bounced back in style with a commanding 4-0 away win over Ranheim in their latest match. The guests dominated in the first half, in which they scored three goals, leaving the home side without many chances to come back.
Following a strong debut season in Eliteserien, it appears that KFUM will face numerous challenges this year. After ten rounds, they are in the relegation playoff zone with three points fewer than safety. KFUM's form is far from ideal, as they have won only two of the last six matches in all competitions. Last weekend, KFUM won 5-0 at home against Stromsgodset. While the first half ended goalless, the home side exploded in the second half with clinical finishing, delivering a dominant performance that could be a turning point in their season.
Lillestrom vs KFUM pick: Both teams to score - yes
Both teams have shown a solid level of attack lately. Lillestrom scored eight goals in the last three matches, while KFUM scored five goals in their previous game. We should expect both sides to score at least once in the upcoming clash between Lillestrom and KFUM.

Lillestrom team news
Lillestrom's head coach, Hans Erik Odegaard, didn't lead the team against Ranheim for the weekend as he attended his son's wedding. We should expect Odegaard to be in charge in the cup tie against KFUM.
The good news for Lillestrom in the previous match is that defender Espen Bjornsen Garnas returned after missing the last few weeks due to injury. He was a regular starter prior to the injury.

KFUM team news
After a big 5-0 win against Stromsgodset, KFUM's head coach felt the burden had fallen from his back. He said, "I'm a relieved man. It's good to know that I can still do it and that we can do it as a team. We've spent a week on the field where we've put aside the defensive game and just thought offensively."
Moussa Njie is injured and should be the only KFUM player unavailable for the cup clash against Lillestrom.
