Rosenborg has showcased remarkable attacking form at home, with 25 goals scored across eight matches this season. Viking, their upcoming opponent, also boasts a strong offensive record, averaging over 1.5 goals per match on the road. Given both teams' attacking strengths and current momentum, a high-scoring match is anticipated. Spectators should look forward to an entertaining encounter with plenty of goal-scoring opportunities.

Rosenborg are one of the hottest teams in the Eliteserien, scoring 14 goals in their last five league games. Viking are the second most efficient team in Norway, so I am expecting a lot of action on Friday. 

Key Stats  


  • Rosenborg have seen over 3.5 goals in 3 of their last 4 home matches. 
  • Rosenborg have seen BTTS in 3 of their last 4 home matches against Viking. 
  • Viking have seen over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches. 

Rosenborg Dominate H2H 


Rosenborg have a 40-21 advantage against Viking in terms of victories, 23 of their h2h clashes ending without a winner. 

Red-Hot Hosts 


Rosenborg appointed Freyr Alexandersson as the new head manager in mid-June and he got them out of the relegation zone, currently sitting in 9th place with 21 points after 16 rounds. 

The Trondheim side won four out of five games under the new leadership, earning 3-0 victories against Kristiansund and Start in mid-July, while wrapping up the month with a 4-0 win over Fredrikstad. 

After losing to Brann 3-2, Rosenborg responded with a 2-0 road win over Lillestrom last weekend. Amin Chiakha played the key role here, registering one goal and one assist. Noah Sahsah also appeared on the scoresheet. 

Viking Warming Up for UCL Playoffs Next Week 


Viking are the reigning Eliteserien champions and they are currently sitting in 2nd place with 40 points after 16 rounds, just one point behind Bodo/Glimt (but played one game less than the Yellow Horde). 

They returned from the summer break with a surprising 1-0 loss to Sarpsborg, but then won two games in a row against Sandefjord 2-1 and Lillestrom 2-1. 

So far, their results in August have been great, winning both games against Start 3-0 (allowed 2.51 xG and 26 shots to the opposition) and Sarpsborg 2-1 (Zlatko Tripic scored the winner in the 95th minute).

Rosenborg (4-4-2) Leopold Wahlstedt; Aslak Fonn Witry, Hakon Rosten, Tomas Nemcik, Adrian Pereira; Tobias Dahl, Ole Selnaes, Johan Bakke, Mads Bomholt; Noah Sahsah, Amin Chiakha

Hosts are missing left-winger Simen Bolkan Nordli and center-forward Dino Islamovic through long-term injuries.

Verdict

25 goals were scored in Rosenborg’s eight home games this season, and their recent form has been fantastic. Viking score more than 1.50 goals per road contest, so a high scoring affair is on the cards.
