4th position in the Eliteserien table for Rosenborg so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 10th-placed Haugesund visits Lerkendal Stadion.
Rosenborg have less rest than Haugesund in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Europa League game only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Ventspils.
Rosenborg form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Lerkendal Stadion as Rosenborg, who have the fewest conceded goals (18) in Eliteserien, have scored 21 goals to get 18 points from 9 games. The overall stats in the Eliteserien are 5-3-1 (wins-draws-losses).
A good away victory last time out for Rosenborg, who won 5-1 against Ventspils. 3-3 away at Strømsgodset before that.
As mentioned above, Rosenborg "killed" Ventspils in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Goals decide football matches and Rosenborg are scoring many of them at home; 21 on target from 9 league matches. Rosenborg have conceded 10 in these home matches.
Haugesund form and stats

Haugesund play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Stabæk (placed 7th). Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Vålerenga.
The attacking power of Haugesund when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. Haugesund have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
