Fredrikstad – Rosenborg

Fredrikstad host Rosenborg at Fredrikstad Stadion with the home side sitting eighth in the table on 29 points from 23 games, having scored 28 and conceded 36. Rosenborg arrive in fifth place, eight points clear with 37 points, a record of 11 wins, four draws and eight defeats and a superior goal difference of +12 after netting 43 and letting in 31. The gap between the two clubs suggests a challenging test for Fredrikstad, who will need to tighten up defensively to stem Rosenborg’s more prolific attack. Historically the fixtures have been tightly contested, and the result could prove pivotal for Rosenborg’s push for the top spots while Fredrikstad looks to climb back into the top half.
