KFUM - Lillestroem

KFUM host Lillestroem at KFUM Arena on Saturday for matchday 18 of the Eliteserien. KFUM arrive having secured back-to-back wins in the league, overcoming Sandefjord 1-0 and Kristiansund BK 2-1. However, their home form has shown vulnerability, with a 2-4 defeat to Molde preceding these victories. The team is also contending with several key absences, including Robin Rasch, Emil Oedegaard, Magnus Retsius Groedem, and Fredrik Tobias Berglie due to injury.

Lillestroem, meanwhile, have endured a difficult run of form, suffering three consecutive defeats without scoring, including a 0-2 loss to Rosenborg and a heavy 4-0 defeat against Bodoe/Glimt. Their last away victory came on 11 July against Fredrikstad. The sides met as recently as 18 July in the Eliteserien, with Lillestroem securing a 2-1 home win. This fixture offers Lillestroem an opportunity to build on that recent success, while KFUM will be looking to reverse the trend.
