Two struggling sides from the bottom half meet at the Sparebanken Norge Arena as Start host Rosenborg in the Eliteserien. Neither has much to shout about this season, but the visitors arrive in far better nick, which is why we’re backing them to win in our IK Start vs Rosenborg BK match prediction.
Start have been in real trouble lately. Guttane have only won one of 13 games this season, and were just beaten 2-1 by Brann last time out. That run that has now left the newly promoted side deep in relegation trouble. Home form has offered little comfort either, and they now face an opponent who has just rediscovered some spark.
Troillongan, for their part, come in off their most convincing display in a while, a 3-0 home win over Kristiansund in which they were good value for the scoreline. Rosenborg are hardly having a vintage campaign themselves, sitting well down the table (13th). But that latest result suggested a team starting to click under their new setup.
The head-to-head only reinforces the gap in pedigree, considering how Rosenborg have dominated this fixture historically, with nine wins in their last ten meetings.

Our Start vs Rosenborg Prediction
We are going with Troillongan to take this one. Rosenborg are no juggernaut this season, but they have just put together their best performance in weeks, and they run into a Start side that simply cannot buy a win right now.
Guttane have recorded a defeat in four of their last five games, and have conceded the most goals this season (30 in 13 games). The visitors clearly have the quality and the form edge here. Hence, our IK Start vs Rosenborg BK match prediction is that Rosenborg wins.
