In this week 21 match, on Saturday Oct 2nd, Sarpsborg 08 and Lillestrøm will play a match in Sarpsborg in a clash of these two mismatched Eliteserien teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 10 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, Sarpsborg 08 recorded a 0-5 blowout loss against Strømsgodset. Gustav Valsvik struck first for Strømsgodset in the 27th minute, then Jack Ipalibo added another in the 41st minute on a feed from Jonathan Parr In the end, Sarpsborg 08 was frustrated by Strømsgodset’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Strømsgodset ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10, while in their last match, Lillestrøm recorded a 1-2 loss against Tromsø. Niclas Vesterlund scored the first goal for Tromsø in the 28th minute, then Adrian Mikkelsen added another in the 62nd minute on a feed from Eric Bugale Kitolano. Lillestrøm should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches.
