Game week two of the Eliteserien campaign and the participants have done their adjustments after the first fixture. Here's our Rosenborg - Odd pre-match guide:

Performing as the home team in the former season Rosenborg produced 8-4-3 (win-draw-lost) with 35 goals and 19 conceded.

Before that, Rosenborg drew at home versus Strømsgodset.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Rosenborg's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won two matches, drawn two and lost zero.
