In this week 21 match, on Sun Sep 3rd, Aalesund plays host to Lillestrøm in a Eliteserien match. 16th placed Aalesund is fresh off their 0-4 loss against Rosenborg. Rasmus Wiedesheim-Paul scored the first goal for Rosenborg in the 13th minute, then Carlo Holse added another in the 23rd minute on a feed from Rasmus Wiedesheim-Paul In the end, Aalesund couldn’t muster any offence and Rosenborg ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 8 of their last 10, while in their last match, 6th placed Lillestrøm, recorded a 2-1 win against Strømsgodset. Yildren Ibrahimaj scored the first goal for Lillestrøm in the 34th minute, then Thomas Lehne Olsen added another in the 49th minute on a feed from Gjermund Asen. Lillestrøm is looking for direction having 5 win and 4 losses in their last 10 matches.
In their last match on Jul 19th, Lillestrøm was victorious by a score of 5 to 1. Isaac Atanga struck first for Aalesund in the 11th minute, then Yildren Ibrahimaj tied it up for Lillestrøm in the 29th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 41st minute on a goal by V. Skjærvik.
Lillestrøm’s top weapon lately has been Thomas Lehne Olsen, who has 2 goals in the last five matches. Erlend Segberg and Bjørn Martin Kristensen are the top scorers for Aalesund in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
