Lillestrom's latest results

In their last league match,Degaard's boys defeated the Europa League 0-2. In the Europa League, they scoreda valuable point in the Czech Republic after a 1-1 draw against Sparta Prague.

How does the Royal get to the game?

On the other hand, the Guipuzkoans will approach the competition in Norway with confidence, after winning against Malaga with ease (2-5), clearing the doubts that arose after last Thursday 's draw in Belgium against the Union Saint-Gillois.

The team led by Pellegrino Matarazzo is in a difficult position after the first two European days, in which he ranks twenty-third , with only one point. The American coach warned at the press conference prior to the clash with Malaga that the Belgian point would become more valuable if his team defeated Lillestrom.

Jon Mikel Aramburu, Luken Beitia and Yangel Herrera continue to train outside the group and are the only Blue White absences for a major match.
