Rosenborg hosts Sarpsborg 08 in round 9 of the Norwegian Eliteserien. The match will be played on Sunday, June 20th at Lerkendal Stadion (Trondheim)
Rosenborg is the most titled club in Norway. The Troll Children became champions 26 times, and the last time the golden series lasted from 2015 to 2018. Of course, against this background, the 4th place in the last championship was a failure. And such a venerable mentor as Age Hareide must revive the project. But so far, the results are mediocre. A quarter of the championship is already behind. Rosenborg has already managed to play eight matches. And the team scored only 14 points in them, that is, five less than the leader, Bod /Glimt. In the last round, the Troll Children lost to Stromsgodset away. Even the quick goal of the productive Wiedesheim-Paul did not help, as the hosts scored twice after halftime.

Relatively recently, in 2017, Sarpsborg 08 climbed to third place (it was higher only right after the Second World War, in 1948). Beyond that, the White-Blues reached the final of the cup. However, it was a bright but one-time exception. On the whole, Sarpsborg 08 is a middle peasant, which doesn’t set high goals. And it spends the current season with rather mediocre results. Having played six times, the White-Blues beat only Tromso away. By the way, they had good away statistics in the spring: they managed to score five out of their six points on foreign pitches. But on Wednesday, Sarpsborg was visiting Molde and lost with a devastating 4-1 score. However, the opponent is fighting to regain the title, so the game was extremely difficult for Sarpsborg.
Sarpsborg can boast of relatively recent successes in head-to-head matches. But in the last five games, it was able to gain only one draw. The rest of the matches ended with victories of Rosenborg, and the last meeting in Trondheim brought a 5-1 defeat. It is far from certain that the Troll Children will manage to repeat this result in the upcoming game. But the opponent is quite modest, so we are waiting for the hosts to win with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Rosenborg to win with -1.0 handicap
