Tense top table cliff-hanger in Eliteserien as Rosenborg have come the 124 miles needed to reach Molde at their Aker Stadion.
- Molde have the fewest conceded goals (21) in Eliteserien
- Rosenborg have the most scored goals in the first half (32) in Eliteserien
Molde have already won the league and the fans have gone wild! Even so, with the trophy already secured there could be issues regarding the team's motivation in this one. One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Rosenborg have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 9-10-10 (win-draw-loss) from 29 matches.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
