If you’re playing this one, here’s the no-bull take.
Lillehammer at 3.77 to win feels slightly short given their inconsistencies in the 3rd Division this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re due a regression — stats nerds would fade them.
Lorenskog IF’s 1.74 line smells value, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
The wise guys’ll likely target the Draw 4 — these derbies often play out tight, and pressure can stifle attacking flow.
