Rosenborg – Start

Rosenborg host Start at Lerkendal Stadion with a comfortable five‑point cushion at fifth place, having amassed 37 points from 11 wins, four draws and eight losses while boasting a +12 goal difference (43‑31). Their opponents sit at the foot of the table in sixteenth, with just 16 points from four victories, four stalemates and fifteen defeats and a worrying –29 deficit (25‑54). The gap in both points and form suggests Rosenborg will enter the encounter as clear favourites, hoping to extend their recent run of victories. For Start, the trip to Trondheim represents a crucial chance to claw back into the safety zone, but they will need to overturn a stark disparity in both results and goal‑scoring record to make any impact.
