KFUM 1-1 Lillestrøm result, stats and report

Viking were comfortable and ruthless at home, putting three past Lillestrøm without reply. Lillestrøm had the ball but did absolutely nothing useful with it.

Torreense came to Norway, sat deep, and picked Lillestrøm apart on the counter. The home side had the ball, the corners, and the shots. They still lost. That tells you everything.

KFUM ground out a 2-1 home win against an Aalesund side that made life impossible for themselves, collecting five yellow cards and never once looking like a team with the discipline to compete for ninety minutes.

Two sides with identical three-match Europa League samples and serious questions to answer. Thursday evening at Lillestrøm could go several ways, and not many of them are comfortable for either manager.

Lillestrøm welcome Real Sociedad to Thursday's Europa League fixture carrying more recent evidence than their visitors. Neither side can afford another slip.

Tromsø have shipped 12 goals in their last five Eliteserien matches and now face a KFUM side that has conceded in every one of their last five away fixtures. Something will give at Alfheim on Sunday.

Sandefjord have won just once in their last ten Eliteserien matches and face a Lillestrøm side that has won two of their last three. Something has to give on Sunday afternoon.

Sparta Praha host Lillestrøm in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday evening, and the Czechs will be expected to impose themselves on a Norwegian side that has shown defensive solidity but precious little attacking threat.
