Our call

We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.

No call on Lillestrøm SK against FC Viktoria Plzeň. There is a likely outcome here, but every bookmaker has it shorter than it deserves, so there is nothing to take.

Preview

FC Viktoria Plzeň arrive as the side with a clear advantage in a game where defensive frailties will be the deciding factor. Lillestrøm SK are struggling to contain opponents, consistently allowing 6 or more shots on target and getting out-created in most of their recent matches. While the visitors often concede the creation battle on their travels, they are better equipped to exploit a porous home side. The loss of a key creative force for the hosts removes their most productive outlet, leaving them toothless when attacking. With Lillestrøm SK failing to secure results at home, the clinical nature of the visitors will punish them. Poor defensive structure will be the undoing of the home team.
