Rosenborg preview: Still looking for their form
With just 14 points from 12 games in the Eliteserien this season, Rosenborg haven't really been at their best or even close to it. After all, they are the most-decorated team in the country, although it's been half a decade since their last title. In any case, Rosenborg will have to play much better if they want to get anywhere near the top this season.
Meanwhile, Tomas Nemcik and Jonathan Augustinsson are out with injuries at the moment, while Ole Selnaes has to serve a suspension.
Predicted lineup: Tangvik (GK), Cornic, Henriksen, Jenssen, Reitan, Tagseth, Borkeeiet, Vaananen, Broholm, Reitan-Sunde & Holm

Player to watch: Ole Christian Saeter
The experienced forward is having a solid season and is one of a few bright spots for Rosenborg so far. With six goals in the league, he's one of the candidates to be the top scorer this season in the Eliteserien.
Will Saeter get another goal from the penalty spot?
Two of the six goals that Saeter has scored in the league so far have come after penalty kicks and if Odd give him a chance in this match, he's likely to take it.
