Rosenborg have indeed had a difficult start to the season, which is uncharacteristic for a club of their stature. Currently sitting in ninth place with 12 points from 10 matches, they are already significantly behind the league leaders, Bodo/Glimt. The early exit from the Cup against a lower division team, Stjordals Blink, highlights the struggles they have faced.
While a recent 4-0 win against HamKam provides a glimmer of hope, Rosenborg still faces challenges. They find themselves closer to the relegation battle than they would have anticipated after finishing third in the previous season. Despite securing a place in the Europa Conference League second qualifying round, significant improvements are needed for the team to compete at that level.
Rosenborg's recent wins have come against lower-placed teams in the league, and they have suffered defeats in the majority of their recent fixtures. Their away form has been particularly concerning, with no victories in their four league matches on the road. The team have struggled defensively, conceding 2 or more goals in eight of their last 10 away matches.
In terms of goal-scoring, Rosenborg lack a prolific scorer this season. None of their players have scored more than two goals, with Morten Bjorlo and Olaus Skarsem leading the team with two goals each.
Given their current form and struggles away from home, Rosenborg faces a tough challenge against Stabaek Football. They will need to address their defensive issues and find more consistent goal-scoring if they are to improve their position in the league and regain their usual competitiveness.
