There is little to choose between Lørenskog and Trygg/Lade on paper, and the 2. Division - Group 2 encounter should reflect that balance. The hosts have been steady if unspectacular, LLLLW in their last five reflecting a win rate of 45%. Trygg/Lade are in the midst of a slump, LLWLW over their last five and a paltry win rate of 10% summing up their struggles.

Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast.

And there are still question marks even in attack, where they have an abundance of supporting forwards including Mbeumo, Cunha and Amad Diallo, but only one out-and-out striker in Sesko.

Neither side is short on individuals capable of tilting the balance, and the duel between the two squads' chief creators could prove particularly pivotal. The battle in midfield, where both sides look to control tempo, could prove the decisive arena. Switzerland forward Amdouni bounced his far-post header into the net after goalkeeper Josh Vickers had flapped at a Lucas Pires corner.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. The signals point towards a stalemate, with the two sides closely matched across form and standings. A 1-1 draw is easy to envisage. With positions in the 2. Division - Group 2 table to defend and momentum to chase, neither side can afford to leave anything in the tank. Joe Gomez is expected to miss the start of Liverpool's Premier League campaign through injury - but it is not likely to impact the Reds' transfer plans.
