A key match in Eliteserien as both teams are battling for the top positions. With the home team in 4th position and the visitors placed 1st, this promises to be an exciting meeting. Read on to find out more!

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Europa League match only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Sporting CP.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Molde have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 10-4-4 (win-draw-loss) from 18 matches.

The season is still full of potential for Rosenborg as they can still win the whole Eliteserien. Molde are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
