This is a vital face-off in the lower part of the 2. Division, with both Rosenborg II and Nardo undergoing more stress than joy. This fixture is a typical "six-pointer" with the hosts placed 14th and the guests in 11th place.

Insights:
  • Rosenborg II have the most conceded goals (57) in 2. Division
  • Nardo have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

Rosenborg II and Nardo should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

Rosenborg II form and stats

Rosenborg II's struggle is real here at SalMar Banen Kunstgress with only 4 points collected from 10 2. Division games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-1-8. All in all it has been a very rough period for Rosenborg who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 15 attempts. Their previous win was against Levanger, 93 days ago.

In their previous game, the manager A. Røen led his Rosenborg II to a defeat in the 2. Division match away at Notodden. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at SalMar Banen Kunstgress. Rosenborg were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Ahead of that match, Rosenborg lost 1-2 at home to Fram.

The manager A. Røen will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Arendal in only four days.

The Rosenborg fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 10 matches. Rosenborg II have conceded 23 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Nardo form and stats

Nardo have only collected 6 points from their away games in the 2. Division, after 1-3-6 (10 played).

The manager F. Eliassen was unhappy after their last game, a 2. Division match played at their home ground Nissekollen Kunstgress. Nardo suffered a 2-3 loss to Egersund (placed 1st). Leading 2-0 was not enough for Nardo in their fight with Egersund last time out. Happy faces soon turned sour as mistakes flourished in what ended up a 2-3 loss.

Prior to that result Nardo won their away game at Kjelsås. The scoreline was 1-0.

The visitors have scored 9 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Nardo have conceded 23 goals in these games.
