Viking host Lillestroem at SR-Bank Arena, Stavanger on Sunday, Sep 20 at 5:00 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 5 points in the Eliteserien, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Viking come into this fixture in red-hot form (5W from last 5). Lillestroem travel in good form (3W 1D 1L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours Viking here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against Lillestroem, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Lillestroem won 1–4. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Viking look the stronger side on current evidence. Expect them to control proceedings at home, though Lillestroem will make it uncomfortable. Viking to win.
