Rosenborg's recent form has been troubling, with just one point from their last five matches, making their odds of 1.58 to win their next game at home against newly promoted Kristiansund look risky. Despite leading 2-0 at halftime in their last match against Tromso, they couldn't maintain their performance and ended up losing 3-2. This was another disappointment following a 1-3 loss at home against KFUM, which also ended with displeasure from the fans. Rosenborg's struggles against bottom-ranked teams like Sandefjord, Ham Kam, and Haugesund, their position just above the relegation play-offs is concerning. They have shown a lack of offensive firepower, ranking low in shots on goal per game and xG allowed, indicating significant issues at both ends of the pitch.On the other hand, Kristiansund has had a decent start to the season for a newly promoted team, standing at 9th place. They have shown potential in creating big chances, ranking only behind Brann and Molde in this statistic, though their finishing has been lacking. In their recent match, Kristiansund managed a 2-2 draw against Brann, where they initially led twice. However, a loss to Haugesund and a draw against Brann reflect some inconsistencies. Injuries to key defenders also thin their squad, potentially affecting their ability to contain opponents. Kristiansund's capability to challenge even stronger opponents suggests they might manage to secure a point against a struggling Rosenborg side.
