Start – Rosenborg

Start’s home ground proved no refuge as Rosenborg cruised to a 3‑0 victory, widening the gap between the two clubs. The result leaves Start languishing in 16th place with just 16 points from 20 matches, having scored only 22 while conceding 41. Rosenborg, now firmly in the top half, move up to sixth with 30 points, their tally bolstered by a positive goal difference of 36‑29. The head‑to‑head record this season also tips in Rosenborg’s favour, having already secured the sole win between the sides. With the season entering its decisive phase, Start’s relegation worries deepen while Rosenborg eyes a push for European spots.
