Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Lillestrom at 52.5%, the draw at 21.7%, and Torreense at 25.8% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 9.5% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Lillestrom
Lillestrom’s recent league form shows a draw 0-0 away at Egnatia Rrogozhinë followed by a 2-1 home win over the same side. The 2-1 victory demonstrates their ability to break down a familiar opponent and convert chances, reinforcing the model’s 2.0 xG rating and supporting a win prediction.
Torreense
Torreense’s recent form is listed as unknown, offering no concrete trend to suggest they can trouble a side with Lillestrom’s home scoring rate. The lack of data, combined with a zero away goals‑for average, points to limited offensive threat and bolsters the case for a Lillestrom win.
