There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Eliteserien table so far. Here's the Rosenborg - Viking latest:

Rosenborg have less rest than Viking in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Champions League game only three days ago.

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 (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 4-2-11 (win-draw-loss) from 17 matches. It's quite the trip for Viking when visiting Rosenborg as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.
