Eliteserien: Two squads in fairly good form get together for this fixture. Rosenborg with a small upper hand with their 4th spot in the table?
- Tromsø have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Rosenborg have the most points from losing position (15) in Eliteserien
This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike Rosenborg's home stadium. The former 30 games by the guests on artifical turf have generated 11 wins, 10 draws and 9 losses.
These teams have little in common geographically as Rosenborg have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Both contenders have had sufficient rest since their previous match. Let's look for an enthusiastic game!
Tromsø form and stats
When playing at home in the Eliteserien, Tromsø have managed 4 wins, 3 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 8 games.
Tromsø are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Vålerenga. The first setback in the shape of a loss after collecting points through four league games. Midfielder Vesterlund was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.4 (out of ten) in that game. Vesterlund hit three key passes.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Tromsø have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 10 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 6 and lost 2.

The regulars enjoyed Rosenborg's previous fixture versus Aalesund (placed 11th), a 2-1 win played at home.
