Start are having a rough time right now. They have lost their last three matches in a row, and in two of those games they did not even score a goal. Before that they had a couple of good wins, but the recent slide shows a team that is struggling for form. Lillestrom, on the other hand, look much stronger. They have won three of their last five, including two comfortable victories on the road, and their only recent loss came against a tough opponent. They are clearly the team in better shape heading into this one.

When these two teams meet, the matches tend to be one-sided and full of goals. Lillestrom have won the last two meetings by clear margins, and the most recent game between them finished with four goals. Start have not beaten Lillestrom since a win last summer. Given how much better Lillestrom are playing right now and how much Start are struggling, this looks like a game where Lillestrom are the stronger side and should come away with the win.
