Lyn vs Kongsvinger Betting Tips - BTTS

A place in the next round of the promotion playoffs to the Eliteserien is up for grabs on Sunday when Lyn and Kongsvinger battle it out in a 1. Division playoff matchup.

After finishing fifth and sixth in the division, both teams begin their playoff campaign knowing they must overcome three opponents in the next weeks if they are to claim the final promotion spot. The winners of this tie will face Egersund before a final against Moss to come later this month.

Both teams have experienced mixed results in recent weeks and having finished the season separated by just one point, a competitive and evenly-balanced matchup is expected in Oslo.

Lyn come into Sunday's matchup having lost both of their last two league fixtures of the regular campaign. An inconsistent end to the season saw Jan Halvorsen´s side win four but lose three of their last eight games. Six of those matches saw both teams scoring including both of their two recent defeats.

Kongsvinger endured a similarly inconsistent run of results in recent weeks. Johan Wennberg´s side won three but lost three of their final eight games of the season, although they did claim a big 4:1 win at Start in their most recent runout. LIke Lyn, six of those eight games also saw both teams scoring.

A tough tie to call, both of their two encounters during the regular campaign finished as 1:1 draws, and a similar outcome could be on the cards this weekend.

BTTS should prove the safest choice considering recent results and past encounters, while I wouldn't be surprised to see this tie go the distance.
