Rosenborg – Viking, Elitеserien Predictions

Rosenborg has 12 wins from its last 16 home games in the league

Rosenborg has won 5 of its last 6 games against the Viking

📉 Rosenborg started the season weak again

Rosenborg were champions for four years in a row before Mölde returned to the top last season. Then the reason Rosenborg did not fight for the title was the extremely weak start of the season for the team and the fact that in the beginning they were already too many points behind the leaders. After Rosenborg finished the last campaign very well, this form was expected to continue now, but no. Here that only after 10 rounds Rosenborg has 15 points and is 15 points behind the first Bodo / Glimt, who has the maximum points.

✅ Viking took two important victories

Viking had taken just one win in their first eight games of the season, but then recorded two consecutive victories against Sarpsborg and Haugesund. It is important to mention that Viking had a pretty strong season last year and finished 5th. This led to interest in some of their main players and they sold some of them. We have yet to see if Viking can finish in the top 8 again, but at the moment it is quite close to the relegation zone.

More mistakes could soon dissuade Rosenborg from aspiring for the title

 Expert view: Rosenborg must start to win, because with a few more failures the difference will become so big that in whatever form they enter after, it will be difficult to reach the 1st position, given that there are still many teams above them in the standings. Viking is definitely weak in defense, and Rosenborg scores goals at home, so we will trust the hosts. We think they will win the match, but it seems that the safest bet in this case is Rosenborg – Over 1.5 goals at 1.74.
