All you need to know about the Rosenborg - Tromsø game:

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.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Tromsø 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 3-3-11 (win-draw-loss) from 17 matches. Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1100 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
