In that game, Rosenborg BK managed 50% possession and 7 shots at goal with 4 on target. For Rosenborg BK, the goalscorers were Jesper Reitan-Sunde (1') and Marius Broholm (43'). On the other side, Tromso got 12 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Vegard Erlien (49'), Vetle Skjærvik (51') and Jens Hjertø-Dahl (77') scored for Tromsø IL.

At least three goals per match have been seen in 6 of the last 6 fixtures where Rosenborg BK have been involved. Their opponents scored 15 of them in this period whereas Rosenborg BK managed to get a total of 9.

WDDLLD

In their last fixture, Kristiansund drew 2-2 in the Eliteserien match with SK Brann.

In that game, Kristiansund had 24% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. For Kristiansund, the goals were scored by Oskar Sivertsen (5') and Sebastian Jarl (52'). Brann had 15 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. Bård Finne (13') and Felix Myhre (79') scored for SK Brann.

The numbers tell their own story, and Kristiansund have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 10 goals in total. At the back, Kristiansund certainly have room for improvement. Such a trend won’t necessarily be carried forward here, though.

Heading into this contest, Kristiansund haven’t won away from home in the past 3 league games.

📰 Team News: Rosenborg BK

Looking at personnel, there is just the lone fitness concern for the Rosenborg BK manager Alfred Johansson to be concerned with thanks to an otherwise robust group of players. Jonathan Augustinsson (unknown injury) misses out.

It looks as if Troillongan should make use of the 4-3-3 formation for this game and select Sander Tangvik, Erlend Dahl Reitan, Markus Henriksen, U. Y. Jenssen, Adrian Pereira, Edvard Tagseth, Ole Kristian Selnaes, Santeri Vaeaenaenen, Marius Broholm, Sverre Halseth Nypan and Jesper Reitan-Sunde.

📋 Team News: Kristiansund

Kristiansund boss Amund Skiri has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Marius Olsen (unknown injury) and Max Williamsen (Cruciate ligament injury) miss out here.

It’s our belief that KBK appear most likely to elect for a 4-3-3 system, starting Michael Lansing, Haakon Sjaatil, Andreas Hopmark, Dan Peter Ulvestad, Mikkel Rakneberg, Jesper Isaksen, Sebastian Jarl, R. Kristensen Alte, Pape Habib Gueye, Hilmir Mikaelsson and O. Siira Sivertsen.

💡 Prediction

It’s pretty clear that Kristiansund won’t find it easy at all to find the net against a Rosenborg BK team who certainly have the ability to control this match, should everything go as we’re expecting.

We reckon that it will be a commanding 3-0 win for Rosenborg BK at full-time.
