Viking vs Rosenborg Prediction: Both sides expected to score

Rosenborg hope to end their struggle this season when they travel to the SR-Bank Arena on Sunday to face Viking. Troillongan have recorded just one win in their last eight games. Can they bounce back here? Below are previews, possible starting 11, expert betting tips, and odds.

WLWWD

Viking were held to a 2-2 draw in their last game before the break by Molde. Viking benefited from two own goals, and they were even more lucky when Aaron Olanare’s 81st-minute goal was ruled out for offside. During the break, they recorded a 2-1 win over AIK in a friendly clash. With these results, they remain unbeaten in their last four games in all competitions. They have lost just 1 of their last 13 games. They sit 5th on the table with 19 points in 11 games, scoring 18 goals and conceding 13.  

• Franco Lino is not certain to play this game due to a thigh injury.
• Kristoffer Løkberg is doubtful due to a broken ankle.

Rosenborg were held to a 1-1 draw in their last game against Fredrikstad. Santeri Vaananen scored the game’s first goal for Rosenborg in the 53rd minute before Henrik Johansen scored the equalizer in the 90+5th minute. Rosenborg now have just one win in their last eight games, losing 5. They are also without a win in their previous four away games. Troillongan sit 10th on the table with 14 points in 11 games, scoring 15 and conceding 18.

• Tomas Nemcik is doubtful for this clash due to a thigh injury.

Viking — Patrik Sigurdur Gunnarsson, Sondre Bjoershol, Gianni Stensness, Sondre Klingen Langaas, Viljar Vevatne, Joe Bell, Sondre Auklend, Simen Kvia-Egeskog, Nicholas D'Agostino, Lars-Joergen Salvesen, Zlatko Tripic.

Rosenborg — Sander Tangvik, Erlend Dahl Reitan, Haakon Volden, Ulrik Yttergaard Jenssen, Adrian Pereira, Edvard Tagseth, Ole Kristian Selnaes, Santeri Vaeaenaenen, Jesper Reitan-Sunde, Marius Broholm, Noah Holm.

The Troll Children's performance this season have been bad, and I won't back them here, especially playing as the visiting team. On the other hand, Viking are unbeaten in their last four games. So, they have all it takes to get a win here. Additionally, I expect both sides to find the net here, and we can expect two goals in the second half.
