Three points on the line and a story to write. Lillestrom host Viking.
Lillestrom take on Viking in the Eliteserien. Let's break down what our data says about this one.
The lead strikers on both sides carry the narrative here. Lillestrom will lean on whoever's hot in front of goal, while Viking travel with the same brief: find a way past a back four that's been organised more often than not this season.
Marginal call: Lillestrom at just 0%. With the draw at 0%, this is anyone's game. You could make a case for Lillestrom, but there's a lot to be said for playing it safe.
The bookmakers have priced this match fairly. Our model doesn't see a big edge in the match result market.
Viking could be in for a similar cool-off. 2.7 goals a game against chance quality worth only 1.8. Hot finishing has been covering for the fact they aren't creating that much.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Lillestrom create chances worth 1.5 a game (and give up chances worth 0.6), leaving them +0.9 a game on the balance. Viking create 1.8 (giving up 1.1) for a balance of +0.7. The chance quality on both sides is remarkably similar. There's nothing to split these two underneath. Viking are also scoring more than their chances suggest (2.7 goals vs chance quality of 1.8). Both runs could cool off at once. A worry for Lillestrom: the chances they're creating lately are worth 1.2 a game, well below their 1.5 season figure. The attacking output has dipped.
This doesn't look like a high-scoring one. Lillestrom average 1.5 goals per game and Viking manage 2.7. Combined that's just 4.1. We make it only 1% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game. Interestingly, the chances suggest more goals than the headline number. Lillestrom and Viking together create chances worth 3.3 a game. The low figure might be underrating the attacking quality here.
Viking are similarly well-balanced. 2.7 scored, 0.9 conceded per game. This has the makings of a tight, tactical game between two organised sides. Both sides keep clean sheets regularly. This could be a tight, low-block affair where the first goal is decisive.
