Prediction: 2-2
Sarpsborg 08
Lillestrom’s Eliteserien status is in great danger ahead of Matchday 30 as they are only two points clear of the relegation zone in the standings. The Fugla are desperate to pick up vital three points from Sunday’s football game Sarpsborg 08, but beating the fellow relegation-threatened team is easier said than done. You should bear in mind that Lillestrom are on a ten-game winless run in the national championship ahead of the last game of the season.
Sarpsborg, on the other hand, are level on points with Jorgen Lennartsson’s troops ahead of the decider. The visitors have been in a much better form of late than the hosts, which is probably the main reason why home win should not be considered. At the end of the day, both teams could be happy with one point from the relegation six-pointer.
Highlighted Player (Kristoffer Larsen):
Kristoffer Larsen is a Norwegian footballer who played for Vestsiden-Askoy IL at youth level. In 2011 he joined Brann and after scoring 11 goals in 91 appearances in the league for the Norwegian club, he moved to Denmark in 2016, signing a deal with Lyngby.
Larsen, who was born in Bergen (Norway) on January 19, 1992, played 41 games for the Danish club before returning to Norway. The pacey winger signed a contract with Sarpsborg 08 at the end of the 2017/2018 season and, as a result, he will participate in the 2018/2019 Europa League group stages.
Kristoffer Larsen’s favourite position is left winger, but he is used as a right winger as well. Larsen, who has yet to earn a cap for the Norwegian national football team, wears No. 19 shirt at Sarpsborg. It has to be noted that his preferred foot is right and that his contract with Sarpsborg 08 should expire in June, 2019.
