As the visiting team in 2. Division matches, Rosenborg II have produced an overall stat of 0-1-4 so far. Bitter travels for Rosenborg as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Øygarden match.

Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Egersund's place.

A quick return to home after this game, as Rosenborg are hosting Kjelsås in the 2. Division only four days away.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Rosenborg as they have only managed to score 3 times from 5 away games in the league. For Rosenborg II, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
