Lillestroem - Aalesund

Lillestroem aim to build on their recent league victory as they return to Aaraasen Stadion for this matchday 26 encounter on 8 November 2026. The hosts head into the fixture looking to steady their domestic form following a testing European schedule, with Thomas Lehne Olsen and Gustav Nordh expected to lead the line. Their task is complicated by the absence of Felix Va, who serves a suspension, but the side remains buoyed by a narrow 1-0 win against Start earlier this month.

For the visitors, the challenge is to recover from a high-scoring defeat to Sandefjord in their last outing. Aalesund arrive without the suspended Cheikh Mbacke Diop and the injured Marcus Haagensen Reed, leaving their defensive structure under pressure. Historically, this fixture has favoured the hosts, who secured a 3-1 victory when the teams last met in the Eliteserien on 15 March 2026.
