Rosenborg's European campaign got off to a somewhat underwhelming start with a 2-2 draw against Crusaders, a result that might not have met their expectations. Nevertheless, the draw extended their unbeaten streak to three games, with the previous two being victories in the league.
Under the interim management of Svein Maalen, Rosenborg will be hoping to build on their recent positive results and continue their ascent in the league standings. Currently sitting in 10th position with 19 points from 16 games, they will be looking to improve their performances and climb higher up the table.
While their attacking output has been decent with 18 goals scored, their defensive record of 22 goals conceded will be an area of concern for the coaching staff. Tightening up at the back will be crucial for Rosenborg to maintain their positive momentum and push for higher positions in the league.
With European football secured for the upcoming season, Rosenborg will have additional challenges to navigate, and they will be determined to make their mark in both domestic and continental competitions. The interim managerial period will be an important phase for the team as they look to find stability and continue progressing towards their objectives.

Odd's performance in the league has been somewhat inconsistent, with only six victories in their 16 matches so far. However, they have shown some signs of improvement recently, securing consecutive wins against teams in the lower part of the table. These wins have been crucial in their bid to climb the league standings.
While their victories have mainly come against lower-ranked teams, Odd have also shown their ability to compete with stronger opponents. They have defeated the current third and fourth-placed teams since the beginning of April, indicating that they are capable of challenging the top sides in the division.
In their previous encounter with their upcoming opponent, a goalless draw was played out, suggesting that it could be another closely contested match between the two sides. However, it should be noted that Odd's defense has not been entirely reliable, as they have only managed four clean sheets since that previous meeting.
Currently sitting in 7th position with 22 points from 16 games, Odd will be aiming to build on their recent wins and continue their climb up the table. Scoring 15 goals and conceding 16 highlights the need for greater offensive efficiency and defensive solidity if they want to compete for higher positions in the league.
The remainder of the season will be crucial for Odd as they look to find more consistency in their performances and secure more positive results. Fans and supporters will be hoping for a strong finish to the campaign, with the team aiming to improve their standing and make a lasting impact in the league.

Expert Betting Tips
Given the struggles both teams have faced in front of goal this season, a tight contest is indeed a possibility. While the home side may have a slight advantage, a team that secured European football last season, could certainly rise to the occasion and put up a strong fight.
