Rosenborg preview: Not a good season so far
With 17 points from 14 games in the league so far, it's clear that Rosenborg have been struggling. After all, they are the biggest team in the country, even if it's been a while since their last title, so seeing them in the lower half of the standings is unexpected. Rosenborg have two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches in the Eliteserien.
When it comes to team news, Jonathan Augustinsson and Markus Henriksen are out with injuries at this time.
Predicted lineup: Tangvik (GK), Cornic, Ceide, Jenssen, Reitan, Vaananen, Selnaes, Nypan; Broholm, Reitan-Sunde & Saeter

Lillestrom preview: Can they keep up the good form?
With three wins in the last four matches, Lillestrom are in the best form yet this season. After all, they have 19 points from 14 matches played so far and nine of them have come in the last four rounds. In any case, Lillestrom are now seventh in the standings, but they're still closer to the relegation zone than the places that lead to European competitions next season.
Meanwhile, Erling Knudtzon, Martin Ove Roseth, Elias Solberg, Lars Ranger, Eric Larson, and Mathis Bolly are on Lillestrom's injury list right now.
Predicted lineup: Christiansen (GK), Charles, Garnaas, Gabrielsen, Toennessen, Ibrahimaj, Lundemo, Aasen, Kitolano, Olsen & Va

Player to watch: Thomas Lehne Olsen
With six goals in the league so far, the experienced forward is Lillestrom's top scorer in the Eliteserien, which is why Olsen is also our player to watch in this match.
Will Olsen score first?
In four of the six matches in the league in which he scored a goal, Olsen was the first goalscorer and we can see that happening once again on Sunday against Copenhagen.
