Jul 2nd features a match where Tromsø and Lillestrøm will play a match in Kjeller in a meeting of these two Eliteserien teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 18 degrees, which is great football weather. Lillestrøm sits at 7th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-2 draw against Brann. Smidesang Edh scored the first goal for Lillestrøm in the 24th minute, then Sivert Heltne Nilsen tied it up for Brann in the 57th minute . Lillestrøm should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Tromsø recorded a 2-1 win against Stabæk. Kasper Hogh scored the first goal for Stabæk in the 7th minute, then in the 15th minute, Ruben Jenssen sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Yaw Paintsil But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 35th minute on a penalty goal by Vegard Erlien. With 20 points in their last 10 matches Tromsø should be reasonably happy with their performance.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 2 draws each.
Vegard Erlien has been on a hot streak lately. In the last 5 games, the attacker has scored 5 goals for Tromsø. Lillestrøm is fortunate enough to have Akor Adams in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored five goals.
