Week 4 brings us a match on Apr 24th where Haugesund and Lillestrøm will play a match in Kjeller in a meeting of these two Eliteserien teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 9 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. Lillestrøm is fresh off their 2-1 win against Molde. Igoh Ogbu scored the first goal for Lillestrøm in the 19th minute, then Kristoffer Haugen tied it up for Molde in the 80th minute. Lillestrøm is looking for direction having earned 14 points in their last 10 matches, while haugesund is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Strømsgodset. Lars-Jørgen Salvesen scored the first goal for Strømsgodset in the 81st minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Haugesund couldn’t muster any offence and Strømsgodset ran away with the shutout win. Haugesund looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 7 points in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Lillestrøm won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Alexander Søderlund and Hillary Gong are the top scorers for Haugesund in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Both Smidesang Edh and Yildren Ibrahimaj have been the hottest scorers for Lillestrøm in the last 5 each having scored 2 goals each.
