Two first-half goals struck Rosenborg back to winning ways in the Eliteserien, and they’ll target three more points in their trip to Sarpsborg. These two meet on Friday, with Rosenborg holding onto fourth spot and the hosts sitting sixth. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Sarpsborg, on the strength of a five-game unbeaten run, will feel like the favorites here. They are coming off a 0-0 draw at Kristiansund, which means they’ve only managed four wins in the last 10 league games.
This leaves them on 21 points, five behind Rosenborg but with two games in hand. Sarpsborg, unbeaten in seven against Rosenborg, have only lost twice in their last 13 league matches.
Meanwhile, Rosenborg returned to winning ways against Hamkam last time out. Before that, they had gone winless in four matches, and like Sarpsborg, they have four wins in their last 10 outings.
Tomas Nemsik opened the scoring for Rosenborg after just 15 minutes, as the 26-time champions dominated early proceedings. They would double their advantage deep in the first-half added time through Dino Islamovic’s penalty.
The 2-0 win was also their only clean sheet in five games, while both teams scored in three of Rosenborg's last five matches. Three defeats in four away league games won’t offer the needed psychological comfort, though.

Our Sarpsborg 08 vs Rosenborg Prediction
Rosenborg got back to winning ways last time out and would have wished for another easy game. They won’t have that comfort as they travel to Sarpsborg, a team they’ve failed to beat in seven matches, losing four.
It will not make matters easier that the visitors are on three defeats in the last four away matches. Their scoring form isn’t bad though, just like Sarpsborg’s, so both teams scoring is a possibility. Our prediction for Sarpsborg v Rosenborg is for Sarpsborg to win and both teams to score.
