This match features two teams living in the basement of the 2. Division, Rosenborg II holding 10th place and Nardo lying 12th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

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.

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

Rosenborg II form and stats

Rosenborg II have collected 6 points from their 2. Division home games so far after 2-0-3. Rosenborg has recorded two wins in a row here at SalMar Banen Kunstgress, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

A nice win for Rosenborg last time playing, versus Odd II. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0 with T. Haltvik (2) scoring for the victors. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-5 away at Notodden.

The Rosenborg fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. Rosenborg have conceded 8 from these games.

Nardo form and stats

Playing away, Nardo have won 1 game, drawn 2 and suffered 2 defeats in the 2. Division this season. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Nardo have lost on their last two travels.

There might be some fixture complaints from Nardo as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the 2. Division match against Vard (0-5). A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Bærum.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Vard was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Goals are few and far between in Nardo's away league games. Only 2 goals from 5 travels. As for defending, Nardo rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 8 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Rosenborg won three, Nardo won four and three draws. seven games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.
