This promises to be an action-packed encounter for Rosenborg at Lerkendal Stadion when the Europa League tournament arrives in town and Alanyaspor with it. Read all about the 3rd Qualifying Round match here!
The hosts Rosenborg saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Eliteserien. Thankfully the previous game, versus Haugesund, was also a home game here at Lerkendal Stadion. The away team is better rested.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 4500 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Rosenborg form and stats
Rosenborg have reached this Europa League stage through battling and winning against Ventspils and Breidablik. Rosenborg was eliminated in the group stage last season in the Europa League.21 points is a decent return from 10 Eliteserien games here at Lerkendal Stadion for Rosenborg. The data says 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss.
Rosenborg's last game was hosting Haugesund and winning 2-1. In the preceding match a 5-1 victory visiting Ventspils.
The victory against Haugesund came after Vegar Eggen Hedenstad's winning goal. The Rosenborg manager Å. Fridtjof Hareide was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 46th minute.
This is expected to be a close game, with Rosenborg perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Rosenborg as a small favourite), we find one game. Rosenborg has won zero of these, drawn zero and lost one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Rosenborg as they are travelling to their away game against Aalesund in the Eliteserien. That match is three days after this one.
Goals decide football matches and Rosenborg are scoring many of them at home; 23 on target from 10 league matches. 11 goals have been conceded.
Alanyaspor form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Super Lig travels is 1 win, 0 draws and 0 defeats. The fact that Alanyaspor have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Alanyaspor has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Alanyaspor goalkeeper is eager to challenge this, with his 243 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
Alanyaspor go into this game after a win, the home game against Kayserispor that ended 2-0. Preceding that game was the away Super Lig victory against Sivasspor with the score of 2-0.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Alanyaspor playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were zero Alanyaspor wins, one draw and two defeats.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Super Lig trip to Rizespor.
2 goals so far away for Alanyaspor, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 1 league match away.
