Lillestrom vs Kristiansund BK Betting Tips - BTTS

An in-form Lillestrom look to extend their unbeaten run to 19 matches when they take on Eliteserien visitors Kristiansund in a one-legged Norwegian Cup semi-final matchup.

Hans Erik Odegaard's side have been in brilliant form this year, claiming 13 wins while remaining unbeaten in 18 games played since the start of the domestic season. 

At the Åråsen Stadion, Lillestrom claimed four successive 1. Division victories before back-to-back draws in the past month. Still, with plenty of attacking quality - The Canaries scored two goals or more in five of their last seven matches - the home side can give their Eliteserien opponents a tough night on Wednesday. 

Kristiansund makes the trip to Lillestrom in decent form, remaining unbeaten in their last four matches, including a 1:1 draw against Eliteserien title-holders Bodo/Glimt. 

Placed ninth in the Norwegian top-tier, Amund Skiri's side have a decent away record, picking up three wins while losing just two of eight road games this season. 

A solid option in the goal markets lately, both teams have scored in five of the visitors’ last six matches, and a similar outcome seems likely given the respective form of both sides.

Indeed, previous encounters between these outfits also proved entertaining, with eight of ten meetings since 2019 seeing both teams get on the scoresheet.

In what should prove a hugely competitive contest, I fancy both teams to score at Åråsen Stadion.
