Aalesund vs Rosenborg: FW Predictions
Aalesund sit 1pt and two positions behind their guests Rosenborg in the Elitserien table and we're expecting a tight and tense 90-minutes between the pair this weekend. Last season, Rosenborg secured all 3pts in this fixture and the bookmakers have the visitors down as the slight favourites this weekend once again.
Contents
Draw
With both of these two teams playing to such a similar standard this season, we're backing Sunday's clash in the Eliteserien to end in a draw. Aalesund have won two, drawn two and lost two of their last six matches in all competitions, playing out a 2-2 draw with Sandefjord in midweek. Rosenborg are unbeaten in their last five fixtures but could only manage a draw in their last away game against Viking.
Under 2.5 Goals
We've already stated that we expect this game to be close and competitive and with that in mind, we're backing under 2.5 goals to be scored on Sunday. Three of the last six competitive and non-competitive meetings between these two clubs have witnessed fewer than three goals scored, while three of Aalesund's last four matches and two of Rosenborg's last three outings also produced under 2.5 goals.

A close and competitive 90-minutes expected at the Color Line Stadion
Aalesund were away at Sandefjord in midweek where a goal from Haakenstad in the 5th-minute put the home side in front. Aalesund responded well to their early deficit, getting back onto level terms through Nenass before the break and then moving 2-1 in front just 4-minutes into the second half via Canadija. However, the visitors couldn't hold onto the lead and eventually conceded an equaliser and the game ended in a 2-2 draw.
Aalesund Predicted Lineup: Grytebust, Andersen, Fällman, Rafn, Šerbečić, Barmen, Čanađija, Ødemarksbakken, Nenass, Määttä & Ammitzbøll
Rosenborg played out a 5-goal thriller at home to Jerv last weekend. The hosts fell behind in the 16th-minute but Rogers equalised in the 20th-minute and then put Rosenborg in front in first-half stoppage time. In the second forty-five, Rogers completed his hat trick to thrust Rosenborg 3-1 up and although Jerv pulled a goal back from the penalty spot, the game ended in a 3-2 home win.
Rosenborg Predicted Lineup: Hansen, Reitan, Rogers, Giampaoli, Skarsem, Jensen, Børkeeiet, Tagseth, Holse, Sæter & Fiabema
