On Monday evening, Tromso host Rosenborg at the Alfheim Stadion in the Norwegian Eliteserien.
Tromso are currently in eighth place in the table after 12 rounds of games. However, a victory in this clash could put the home side right back in the fight for the European spots this season.
Last time out in the Eliteserien, the home side suffered a 1-0 defeat at Haugesund. The defeat was typical of Tromso’s recent form, as they have been inconsistent of late in the Norwegian top-flight.
They have a strong recent home record winning six of their last eight games in the league on home soil. The home side’s wins on home soil have been convincing too, as all six of those recent wins have been by two or more goals.
In fact, Tromso have been highly prolific on home soil in recent months, scoring two or more goals in ten of their last 13 league outings.
Rosenborg are currently second in the league, trailing leaders Brann by six points. A 2-1 home defeat against their title rivals last time out ended a ten-game unbeaten run in the league for the visitors.
In fact, the visitors have won seven of their last nine games in the Norwegian top-flight. One of the keys to that recent good run of league form is solid defensive displays, as they have kept clean sheets in six of the last nine league outings.
Rosenborg have been hard to beat in the Eliteserien, as they have suffered just seven defeats from their last 42 league games.
The visitor’s recent away form has been good, as they won their last four games on their travels in the Norwegian top-flight. Their recent league games on their travels have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last seven games.
Tromso have a strong home record, while Rosenborg are strong on their travels. Forebet predicts that the visitors will record a victory in a high scoring clash to enhance their title challenge.
