Competition: Norway Eliteserien

Match begins: 18:00 (UTC)
Venue: Lerkendal Stadion (21421 seats)

Game week two of the Eliteserien season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Rosenborg - Viking preview:

It's no vacation for neither Rosenborg nor Viking as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Rosenborg's stadium, Lerkendal Stadion, has a grass surface. Viking have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Viking when playing on grass; 5 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses from 13 matches. They have scored 19 goals in these games and conceded 20.

It's quite the trip for Viking when visiting Rosenborg as the cities are 1000 kilometers apart.
