On Wednesday evening, Rosenborg host Haugesund in the Norwegian Eliteserien, as the home side looks to end a poor recent run of league form.
Rosenborg made a decent start to their Eliteserien campaign, but have now hit a poor run of form. In fact, the team from Trondheim have now suffered three straight league defeats after a 2-0 loss at Lillestrom.

The poor run of form means that Age Hareide’s team have taken just 14 points from their last ten league outings. Despite the recent dip in form, Rosenborg are still just two points adrift of the European spots in the Norwegian top-flight.
Rosenborg have lost two of their last three home games in the Eliteserien. However, they have won five of their last seven games on home soil in the Norwegian top-flight.
One positive for the home side is that they have been highly potent on home soil in the league of late, scoring at least two goals in five of their last six league matches.
Haugesund started their campaign in mixed fashion, but they may just be finding form, as the visitors have won three of their last four matches in the Eliteserien, including their last two games without conceding a goal.
Their points total of 11 in the Norwegian top-flight is creditable considering they have played just seven matches, compared to Rosenborg’s ten. They could move level on points with the home team with a victory in this clash.
Haugesund need to work on their away record if they are to push up the league, as they have failed to win any of their three matches in the Norwegian top-flight on their travels this season.
Forebet predicts that Rosenborg will get back to winning ways by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter to push closer to the European spots.
