- The Owls have scored eight goals in their previous five matches.
- Rosenborg sit six points behind league leaders Viking.

Correct score prediction: Kristiansund 1-2 Rosenborg
Amund Skiri’s Kristiansund limp into this clash reeling from back-to-back four-goal thrashings to SK Brann, including their most recent friendly. With just 1.18 points per game this league campaign, the hosts face grim odds against a Rosenborg team hungry to get back to winning ways. Sitting in third position, the visitors should scrape a narrow victory at Kristiansund Stadion to maintain their title-chasing ambitions.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Bookies favour Rosenborg
- HOME: 4/7 (1.57) – 63.6%
- DRAW: 3/1 (4.00) – 25%
- AWAY: 17/5 (4.40) – 22.7%
Kristiansund undoubtedly come into this clash as underdogs, with bookmakers pricing them at odds to 9/5 (2.80) – suggesting a 25.6% win probability rate. They will look to bounce back and secure atleast a point since beating Molde last month, but overcoming a hungry Rosenborg side aiming to close the gap to Viking is no easy task.
Troillongan have game in hand unlike the league leaders. With odds of 4/6 (1.66) gracing the visitors, Alfred Johansson will be confident of registering a seventh triumph this Eliteserien season. These odds indicate a 60.2% chance of securing all three points.

Player to Watch: Marius Broholm
Five goals in his last seven club appearances for Rosenborg speak volumes about Marius Broholm, who is expected to leave the club next month for LOSC Lille. The 20-year-old Norwegian prodigy is Rosenborg's top scorer this campaign so far, and could very well make the difference against Kristiansund.
