On Sunday, Rosenborg will travel to Sandefjord to try to get back on the winning track in the Norwegian Eliteserien. The away team is currently third in the Eliteserien standings with 23 points from 13 matches, while Sandefjord is sixth, four points behind fourth-placed Tromso.



Sandefjord has recorded 6 wins and 5 losses in 11 league matches this season, totaling 18 points and placing sixth in the league, four points behind fourth-placed Tromso. Andreas Tegstroem's team followed a 4-0 home win against Haugesund with a 1-0 loss to Brann.


Sandefjord has performed exceptionally well in front of their home fans this season, winning all five league matches, scoring 14 goals and conceding only 3. The team has participated in this level of football for the sixth consecutive season, finishing tenth last season, so sixth place is a very good position even in the early stages of the competition.


Rosenborg will enter this match after a 1-1 draw with Viking, having earned only two points in their last three top-flight matches. Alfred Johnson's team has a record of 6 wins, 5 draws, and 2 losses in 13 league matches this season, totaling 23 points and sitting third in the league. However, Rosenborg is 10 points behind the leaders Viking, so they have a lot of work to do in the coming weeks if they want to contend for the title.


No team has won the Norwegian top league more times than Rosenborg, who have claimed the title 26 times, with their last victory in 2018. This Norwegian powerhouse finished fourth last season but is currently only 3 points behind second-placed Brann, and they have a strong defensive record this season, conceding just 12 goals in 13 matches.


Sandefjord predicted starting lineup:

Haddaway; Pedersen, Christiansen, Smajlovic, Cheng; Mork, Otosen, Zabic; Paturidis, Metler, Dunsby


Rosenborg predicted starting lineup:

Tangvik; Sletjo, Sevcik, Jensen, Mortensen; Vaananen, Selnaes, Fossum; Retan-Sande, Islamaovic, Ceide
