Rosenborg face Sporting Lisbon in the Europa league on Thursday. Rosenborg drew 3-3 away from home against Stromsgodset at the weekend and go in search of their first points of the in Group D this Thursday. Sporting lost 1-0 at Tondela over the weekend and will be looking to return to winning ways when they make the trip to Norway on Thursday. All of the stats suggest that Thursday’s match is most likely to be a low-scoring affair and we have predicted a 1-0 win for the visitors Sporting CP. Under 2.5 goals were produced when these two clubs met last month where Sporting won and kept a clean sheet. Rosenborg have lost all of their three group games in the Europa League this season while Sporting have won two of their three group games, so you can see why we’re backing the Portuguese side to pull off a narrow win this Thursday.

The form of both clubs over the last month or so only adds weight to our prediction for an away win this Thursday, as Rosenborg have lost three of their last six matches and Sporting have won four of their last six games in all competitions. The performances of bo teams in recent weeks provide more reasons to back a 1-0 win for the visitors this Thursday, as under 2.5 goals were produced in three of Sporting’s last five matches. Rosenborg have only won one of their last three home games and have failed to keep a single clean sheet in their last six attempts, so three points and a clean sheet look achievable for the Portuguese side this week.
