Tromso had been enjoying a fantastic run in the Norwegian top flight, securing four consecutive victories. However, their momentum took a hit when they suffered a 4-0 loss to Sarpsborg in their previous outing. Despite having 58% possession in that match, they struggled to convert their dominance into goals, managing just 2 shots on target.

Nonetheless, Tromso remain one of the standout teams in the league this season. They currently sit in third place with 39 points, trailing behind Bodø/Glimt and Viking by five points. Tromso's strong defensive record is worth noting, as they have conceded the fewest goals in the league, with just 19 against them.

Midfielder Vegard Erlien has been a standout performer for Tromso, netting eight goals so far. Yaw Painstil and Jakob Romsaas have also contributed with four goals each. Although they will miss the presence of key midfielder Lasse Nilsen due to a leg injury, Tromso's squad depth is expected to help them cope.

Rosenborg are facing a challenging situation as they head into this upcoming clash. They've suffered defeats in their last two away matches and are eager to avoid a third consecutive loss. Currently, Rosenborg find themselves in mid-table with 10 matches remaining in the campaign.

Their season has seen them win eight games and draw four out of 20 matches, placing them in the eighth position with 28 points. They currently trail Tromso by a significant 11-point margin.

To make matters more difficult, Rosenborg will be without the services of three influential players, including captain Markus Henriksen, due to injuries. However, Ole Saeter, who has scored four goals, along with Carlo Holse and Sverre Nypan, each contributing three goals, are expected to step up and take charge in this challenging situation.
