Lillestrom's expected 1.8 goals against Fredrikstad's 0.8 sets a clear advantage, reflected in a 61.1% win probability for the hosts. The model also rates the match at 48.1% for over 2.5 goals, but the result edge is the strongest signal.

Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Lillestrom at 61.1%, the draw at 22.6%, and Fredrikstad at 16.2% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-0 at 13.4% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Lillestrom
Lillestrom's recent five results (WLLLD) include a 2‑1 win over KFUM Oslo and a 1‑1 draw at KFUM Oslo, showing they can still score against familiar opposition. However, three consecutive losses – 1‑2 to Viking, 0‑4 at Bodo/Glimt, and 0‑2 to Rosenborg – highlight defensive frailties that keep them from dominating, which supports a win but not a high‑scoring affair.
Fredrikstad
Fredrikstad's LLWWW run features three straight 1‑0 victories against Sandefjord, Start, and Kristiansund BK, demonstrating a knack for grinding out narrow wins. The earlier 0‑1 loss to Bodo/Glimt and 0‑4 defeat at Rosenborg show they can be kept clean, reinforcing the expectation of low scoring from the visitors.
Head-to-Head
In the last five meetings, Lillestrom have recorded one win (2‑0 on 11 July 2026) and two draws (2‑2 on 31 Jan 2026 and 1‑1 on 21 May 2025), while Fredrikstad have two wins (1‑0 on 22 Mar 2025 and 2‑1 on 20 Oct 2024). The head‑to‑head trend leans toward Lillestrom's advantage, matching the model's win probability.
