Rosenborg have won only one of their seven away matches this season
Both teams have scored in Rosenborg’s last eight completed Eliteserien games
Fredrikstad have only lost one of their six home games this term
Rosenborg’s road struggles may be set to continue
Rosenborg have not lived up to expectations in the early part of the Norwegian Eliteserien season and that is mainly down to their poor away form. They visit Fredrikstad having won just one of their seven road games, losing five of those.
Their game last time out with Lillestrom was postponed due to anti-VAR protests but they remain closer to the bottom of the table than the top, currently sitting just five points off last-placed Sandefjord.
Fredrikstad had a red-hot start this season following promotion and while they have struggled to replicate that form recently, they did beat HamKam 1-0 last time out. Their record has been rock solid at home too, losing just once in their own back yard this term.
The hosts are fifth in the table and have one of the best defensive records in the division, conceding just 14 times in 15 matches. Fredrikstad are fancied to win this one.
Nevertheless, Rosenborg’s last eight completed games have seen both teams score and they could find the net in this clash. Correct score backers should side with a 2-1 win for the home team.
