Bearing in mind the average goals scored (3.15) and conceded (1.25), it is reasonable to predict that Lillestrøm will likely score at least twice, while Raufoss may find it challenging to keep their defense tight throughout the match. The possibility of seeing early goals within the first 29 minutes could lead to strategic shifts, with Raufoss potentially adopting a more aggressive stance if trailing or consolidating their defense if leading.
