- Competition: 1. Division
- Date: 28th June 2025
- Kick-off: 15:00 UK / 16:00 CEST
- Venue: Åråsen Stadion
Lillestrøm will be looking to keep alive their hopes of getting promotion to the Eliteserien at the end of the season when they play host to Sogndal on Saturday afternoon.
The hosts' second-from-bottom finish in the top flight at the end of last season saw them drop to the First Division, but they have responded well. The Canaries are four points clear at the top of the standings after 12 games, and are the only team in this division yet to suffer defeat this season. They will take a run of two successive victories into Saturday’s game, with one of those victories being against KFUM in the Norwegian Cup quarter-final at this ground in midweek.
Meanwhile, Sogndal were last in action last Sunday, hosting Lyn in the league. The visitors went into that game full of confidence following their previous result, which saw them thrash Skeid 4–1, but things didn’t end well. They missed the opportunity to climb to third in the standings after losing 2:1 and will be looking to bounce back on Saturday.
Lillestrøm vs Sogndal Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Given how offensively strong both sides are at the moment, it’s hard not to expect goals. The hosts scored two or more goals in all but one of their last six matches, while Sogndal have scored at least once in each of their last fifteen matches.
Lillestrøm kept a clean sheet in their last league match against Ranheim, but they scored four times, as many goals as have been seen in each of their last three First Division matches. With all of Sogndal's last four games producing three or more goals, Saturday's game is likely to be entertaining.

Lillestrøm team news
Lillestrøm did not suffer any injuries in their 2-0 win over KFUM in the Norwegian Cup last time out, so it would not be surprising if head coach Hans Erik Ødegård maintains his starting line-up.
Markus Karlsbakk — who opened the scoring in that game — has contributed 12 goals in 12 league games this season, and the Norwegian is set to play a key role in midfield this weekend.

Sogndal team news
Like their hosts, Sogndal have no recent injuries to report ahead of Saturday’s Norwegian second division clash at the Åråsen Stadion.
However, given last weekend's result and scoreline against Lyn, head coach Luis Pimenta may refresh his starting line-up, potentially dropping Jacob Blixt Flaten and Per-Egil Flo to the bench.
