Start and Lillestrøm meet in Eliteserien, with the hosts still battling to escape the lower reaches of the table while the visitors sit in the upper group and need points to hold their position. This game therefore means different things to both sides. Start have just come off a 1-0 league win, but before that they were hit hard at home, 1-6. The defence is clearly still a problem, judging by the 54 goals conceded in 24 matches. Lillestrøm, meanwhile, have won two league games in a row and have just won in the cup 2-1. Their overall form looks better, but their away games have not always kept the opposition out. What to watch from kick-off is how Start set up defensively early on, because if they let Lillestrøm dominate the ball and dictate the flow, the game could go one way. But if the hosts defend tightly and wait for counter-attacking moments, this game has a chance of finishing close enough for the hosts to get the result they need.
