4th spot in the Eliteserien table for Rosenborg so far, a competent campaign. The home team ticketholders pray for more points as 6th-placed Viking visit Lerkendal Stadion.
- Rosenborg have the most points from losing position (15) in Eliteserien
- Viking have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Viking 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 7-4-5 (win-draw-loss) from 16 matches.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Viking, who are travelling more than 1000 kilometers to play this game.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Eliteserien game only four days ago. That game, against Kristiansund, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Viking.
