Start will be looking for an improved result here after the 2-1 Eliteserien defeat in their last game at the hands of SK Brann.
In that match, Start managed 35% possession and 17 shots on goal with 3 on target. The scorer for Start was Håkon Lorentzen (53'). Brann got 14 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. Noah Holm (68') and Kristian Eriksen (90') scored for SK Brann.
Start have been conceding pretty frequently lately, although they’ve also done enough to score goals themselves. Over their last 6 matches, Start have conceded in 5 of them while also managing to get on the scoresheet in 6 of those games. We shall soon find out if that trend will end up being sustained here.
Coming into this contest, Start have not won against Rosenborg BK in their last 16 league games. A shocking run, it really is.
