Lillestroem welcome Vaalerenga at Aaraasen Stadion, Skedsmo on Saturday, Sep 12 at 4:00 PM in a Eliteserien fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Lillestroem come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 3L). Vaalerenga, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Lillestroem head into this on the back of a defeat, while Vaalerenga arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
