Lillestrom host Egnatia in Europa League second leg

Recent form points to a tight contest

Neither side arrives with momentum. Lillestrom have won none of their last five matches, drawing two and losing three. That run includes defeats to VIK, BODO and ROS, and a pair of draws against KFUM and Egnatia. Egnatia's recent record reads one win, three draws and one defeat across their last five. They beat SHR 5-1 but also lost to the same opposition 3-1, and drew twice with NKC before the scoreless meeting with Lillestrom.

What the first leg offers

The opening match produced no goals, and the lack of a breakthrough leaves the tie level heading into Thursday. Lillestrom will hope home advantage shifts the balance, but their winless streak suggests finding a way through may not be straightforward. Egnatia have shown they can score — five against SHR demonstrates that — but they have also drawn three of their last five, including the first leg. The arithmetic is simple: whoever scores first will force the other to respond.
