Brann's long upper hand, but a recent wobble

Looking back over the last decade or so, Brann have won the majority of meetings with Lillestrom, including four of the six played before this year.

Just one place and three points apart

In the Eliteserien table, Lillestrom sit sixth on 32 points from 21 games, one place and three points above Brann in seventh.

Both have won nine or ten league matches and lost a similar number, so there's very little separating them on paper.

Lillestrom's main threat is Fredrik Gulbrandsen, also on six, while Vá has provided five assists from midfield. Yssouf Ibrahimaj has picked up a fair few yellow cards for Lillestrom this season too, worth noting given how feisty this fixture can get.

What kind of game this could be

With both sides conceding regularly and neither defence looking settled, this has the shape of a match where goals could come at both ends.

It's still a month out from kickoff, so team news and any fresh knocks will matter more nearer the day, but the pattern of goals for both sides has held up for a while now.
