Rosenborg to win
Despite Viking sitting up in third in the league right now their recent form doesn’t represent that, which is why we’re backing Rosenborg to win. Rosenborg have lost just one of their last five games having won three and drew the other – although they even won that in extra time! On top of that, Viking have won just one of their last five and, more notably, have lost three of their past four. Six of the last 10 head to heads have swung in the favour of Rosenborg too.
Both teams to score
Our second prediction for Viking vs Rosenborg is that both teams will score. We’ve already highlighted that Viking have struggled for wins – they have not, however, struggled for goals with both teams scoring in each of their last five games. Rosenborg meanwhile have scored in each of their past five and have conceded in three of those. As for the head to head, the last two clashes have ended with goals at both ends.

A big clash between two sides with eyes on Europe
Right now, Viking and Rosenborg have ambitions of being in the mix for some form of European football come the end of the season – even if that is still someway off. They are not the only teams in the hunt but whichever side comes out on top here will certainly be well positioned to kick on.
Viking are sitting well positioned in the league right now but their recent form suggests those heady heights aren't going to last for long. One side that could leapfrog them fairly soon is Rosenborg so a home win here would be quite the statement of intent from the hosts. Are they capable of getting back into form?
Viking Predicted lineup – Gunnarrsson, Bjorshol, Brekalo, Vevatne, Pattynama, Lokberg, Solbakken, Fridjonsson, Kabran, Berisha, Sebulonsen
Rosenborg might sit south of Viking in the standings right now but with this head to head combined with a couple of games in hand that could all change over the coming weeks. Should Rosenborg win this match though, their ambitions for the season will be much bigger than purely catching their hosts.
Rosenborg Predicted lineup – Hansen, Vagic, Henriksen, Rogers, Reitan, Skarsem, Jensen, Holse, Pereira, Saeter, Fiabema
