Stromsgodset easily defeated Kristiansund 4-0 in the 1/16 finals of the Norwegian Cup and reached the round of 16. This team started the competition in the Norwegian Eliteserien quite solidly and with 10 points taken in 6 rounds played, they are in 5th place in the table. In the previous round, they lost to the leader Bodo 1-0, but they had a very good performance. In the cup competition, they also have a lot of big ambitions and will most certainly enter the duel as favorites, at least because of the home field advantage if nothing else.

Lillestrom made the biggest surprise of the previous round of the NM Cup by defeating Bodo 4-2 on the road. Their form was on the rise until that match, but then they lost against Sarpsborg in the championship. In the duel against Stromsgodset, it would be possible to see how damaged that winning moment was and whether Lillestrom recovered in the right way. In the championship, they are currently in the lower part of the table with 7 points so far

Stromsgodset vs Lillestrom pick: OVER 2.5 GOALS

There should be no shortage of goals in this match. Both of them force attacking football, and in some previous direct duels we often saw more than 4, 5 goals in total. Stromsgodset has a much better h2h tradition in this stadium but Lillestrom is a team that is certainly capable of scoring in this stadium. Since the beginning of the season, they have been playing much better in away games, and in the previous 6 road clashes they scored 18 goals. We expect at least 3 goals in total here
