On Saturday evening, Rosenborg and Kristiansund clash at the Lerkendal Stadion in the Norwegian Eliteserien.
Rosenborg
The team from Trondheim have kicked off their league campaign in an underwhelming fashion by picking up 14 points from their opening ten matches in the Eliteserien.

Despite that mixed start to the league campaign, they have been relatively hard to beat of late in the top-flight. A 3-1 defeat against Lillestrom last time out ended a four-game unbeaten in Eliteserien. The defeat left the home side ninth-place in the table and seven points adrift of the European spots.
While Rosenborg’s recent league results have been poor, their recent Eliteserien matches have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six games.
Rosenborg are unbeaten in their previous six home matches in the Norwegian top-flight, although they have won just two of their last seven league games on home soil.
Kjetil Rekdal’s team have been relatively solid in defence on home soil in the Eliteserien, keeping clean sheets in three of their last four home games.
Kristiansund
The visitors have made a nightmare start to their league campaign, as they are currently rock-bottom of the table. The visitors have picked up just one point in the league, although they have only played eight matches in the Eliteserien this season.
Their last league victory came in the final game of last season. They head into this clash on the back of four straight league defeats. Kristiansund’s biggest problem in recent games has been a poor defensive record, as they have conceded at least two goals in their previous five league games.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Rosenborg will bounce back to winning ways by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter to add to the visitor's recent woes.
