Rosenborg warm up for Tromsø with expectations of taking all three points. Will they? Check our match guide!
- Rosenborg have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (6) in Eliteserien
- Tromsø have yet to win a game away.
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 (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 2-5-4 (win-draw-loss) from eleven matches.
Tromsø have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
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.
Rosenborg form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Lerkendal Stadion as Rosenborg have scored 13 goals to get 14 points from 6 games. The overall stats in the Eliteserien are 4-2-0 (wins-draws-losses).
The Rosenborg coach Rekdal and his crew return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Aalesund (placed 7th). Defender Henriksen got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 8.04/10. Henriksen won 9 of 11 duels.
Ahead of that match, Rosenborg won a home game hosting Jerv (3-2).The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Rosenborg have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 6 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.
Rosenborg can score goals in their home matches. After 6 league matches they have found the net 13 times.
Tromsø form and stats
There's been little loot from Tromsø's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the Eliteserien. Tromsø only have 0 wins to counter their 2 defeats and 4 draws.
Tromsø play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-5 to Molde (placed 1st). Until that defeat this team had taken at least a draw from seven league matches in a row. Tromsø lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one. Tromsø goalkeeper Haugaard could take pride in a fine day against Molde, but despite making six saves the defeat could not be helped. The attacker Kitolano got a match rating of 7.13 in that game. Kitolano scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Sandefjord that ended 2-2.We have checked recent matches where Tromsø have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 9 games were 2 victories, 5 draws and 2 defeats.
Sports betting fact: Both teams have scored in 10 of this club's last 11 league fixtures.
