Rosenborg vs Kristiansund: Top Two Predictions
Rosenborg sit in mid-table after failing to pick up the win they were so desperate for away at the league leader Lillestrom over the weekend but this Saturday's hosts are the favourites to secure all 3pts against bottom-of-the-table Kristiansund. The visitors are without a win in their last three competitive matches, all of which have ended in defeat.

Rosenborg to Score 2-4 Goals
We're expecting Rosenborg to find their scoring boots this weekend against a Kristiansund side that has a very leaky defence. The hosts have scored 2-4 goals in four of their last five competitive matches in all competitions, while this Kristiansund side have conceded a total of 10 goals in their last five matches in league and cup.
Rosenborg to Win-to-Nil
Rosenborg claimed a win and a clean sheet when they last played host to Kristiansund, one goal proved enough to secure all 3pts on that day. Rosenborg have kept a clean sheet in three of their last five games against Kristiansund, including friendlies, and have managed to shut out their opponents in three of their last six matches in all competitions heading into Saturday clash. Kristiansund, on the other hand, have failed to score in four of their last six matches in all competitions.

Rosenborg backed to beat their bottom-of-the-table guests
Rosenborg started the game brightly away at table-topping Lillestrom, taking the lead in the 16th minute through Vecchia. However, this only proved to be a false dawn for the visitors as Mathew equalised in the 32nd minute and Dragsnes made it 2-1 to Lillestrom before the break. In the second half, Knudsen added a third goal for Lillestrom 3-minutes from time to wrap up all 3pts.
Rosenborg Predicted Lineup: Hansen, Reitan, Rogers, Pereira, Skjelbred, Henriksen, Vagić, Jensen, Vecchia, Holse & Sæter
Kristiansund played host to Bodo/Glimt at the weekend where the two sides played out a goalless first half that won't live long in the memory. The first goal in this game was always going to prove key to the end result and when Pellegrino put the visitors in front after 53 minutes, there was no looking back for Bodo-Glimt who secured the victory via a second goal of the game from Pellegrino 18 minutes from time.
Kristiansund Predicted Lineup: Mbaye, Aasbak, Coly, Nilsen, Williamsen, Diop, Kartum, Isaksen, Gjertsen, Bye & Willumsson
