A positive result against Rosenborg could see Viking FK reduce the gap to the summit to one point on matchday seven of the Eliteserien. The match will be played at Lyse Arena, where Rosenborg have struggled to secure favourable results, losing their last two. Here's our match prediction.
Viking FK are on cloud nine after a less-than-ideal start to the 2025-26 Norway Eliteserien season, which witnessed them drop three points against HamKam on the road. Heading into this clash, they've won their last five league games.
In their most recent match, they beat Fredrikstad 2-1 on the road. Peter Christiansen has been the team's shining star in the early stages as his opening goal in the first-half stoppage time was his fifth goal contribution.
The Dark Blues are one of two teams in the league to have maintained a 100% record at home. At the Lyse Arena, they have won their last three. They kept just one clean sheet during this period.
Rosenborg have had a mixed start to the current campaign. They find themselves languishing in the bottom four and have maintained a one-point cushion over SK Brann in the relegation playoff spot.
The Troll Children have drawn their last two league games, including a 1-1 home draw against SK Brann. This follows a 2-1 home triumph over Sarpsborg 08, which is their only win in six games.
