Rosenborg vs Vikings

Vikings are aiming to extend their lead at the top of the table when they travel to Rosenberg for a Norwegian Eliteserien clash on Saturday.

The visitors have been the team to beat this season and have looked almost unstoppable so far. They have also impressed on their recent travels and should have the upper hand over the hosts, who are finding things difficult at the moment.

Rosenborg News

Rosenborg head into the clash after crashing out in the quarter-finals of the NM Cup. They lost on penalties to Sarpsborg after playing out a 1-1 draw in regulation time.

That result extends Rosenborg’s recent poor run as they are winless in four of their last five matches across all competitions, losing 4-1 at Kristiansund in their previous league fixture. They are also unconvincing in front of their fans and are winless in four of their last six matches across all competitions.

The defeat to Kristiansund highlights Rosenborg’s shaky defence having also recently lost 4-0 at Bodo/Glimt. However, they have scored in eight of their last nine home matches across all competitions.

Vikings News

Vikings are enjoying a solid start to the season having suffered just one defeat in their opening 13 matches. They already hold a nine-point lead at the top of the table and joint managers Morten Jensen and Biarte Lunde Aarsheim will be keen to extend that gap.

Things have been smooth for Vikings lately as they are currently on a nine-match unbeaten run across all competitions, claiming a 3-0 victory over Fredrikstad in their previous fixture. They have also won their last 10 away matches across all competitions and head into Saturday's clash off the back of a 1-0 victory at Aalesund in an NM Cup match.

The goals have flowed freely for Vikings, who can count a 4-2 victory at Bodo/Glimt among their recent results. Five of their last eight matches across all competitions have also produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Rosenborg and Vikings have claimed four wins each from the last eight matches. Both teams met in a friendly back in March, with the visitors claiming a 3-2 victory.

Verdict

Rosenborg v Viking FK

Rosenborg and Viking often serve up open contests as their last five meetings have produced over 2.5 goals, with both teams scoring in four of those matches. Given the attacking quality on display, this clash is likely to produce a similar outcome.

Vikings have only stumbled once this season and remain the superior team in the league. With Rosenborg looking unconvincing at the moment, the visitors have enough quality to earn a win or draw in this one.
