Matchday 16 of Eliteserien is set for this weekend as Sarpsborg play host to title chasing Lillestrom where both these sides differ by 14 points and are separated by 8 places. These two teams will be seen clashing at Sarpsborg Stadion, this Sunday.

Lillestrom is at the 2nd spot on the standing with 33 points from 15 games. They won 10 times in the league while drew on 3 and lost on 2 other occasions. The visitors have the best defensive side in the league, conceding only 14 goals so far. They are also just 4 points away from overtaking Molde for the top spot.

The visitors will go into this clash following a 5-2 Conference League Qualifier win over SJK in their last game. They have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 8 goals in total.

On the other side, Sarpsborg resides at the 11th position on the standing with 19 points from 15 games. They won 6 times in the league while having drawn once and lost on 8 other occasions. Their total goals to conceding ratio stands at 30:26 so far in the league which indicates that their defensive unit needs to be strengthened.

The hosts will be wanting a better result here after the 3-1 Eliteserien defeat in their last game at the hands of Haugesund. Matches involving them have proved to be entertaining encounters lately with high scoring the rule rather than the exception. Over their past 6 games alone, the sum total of 13 goals have been scored by them.
