Fredrikstad
- Fredrikstad FK have been playing some good soccer under Casper Roejkjaer since he took the helm on 20 May 2026 and his team have tightened up in terms of not taking unnecessary risks and keeping the game in front of them.
- The Aristokratene are 9th in Eliteserien 2026 with 29 points from 23 games, a decent platform for the second half of the season, but not much room for error if they fall away.
- Fredrikstad are winless in 2 against Rosenborg at home in the Eliteserien.
Rosenborg
- Rosenborg are unbeaten in 5 with 4 wins and 1 draw.
- Rosenborg are only 4th with 40 points from 24 fixtures, but still within reach of the top end of the table and Freyr Alexandersson has led his Troillongan into a front-foot, high-press 4-3-3 since taking over on 17 June 2026.
- They've won their last two fixtures which followed up their 0-3 away win at Sarpsborg 08 with another 0-3 win away at Ham-Kam.
Head-to-Head
- Rosenborg have a head-to-head edge in this fixture, winning three of the last five, while Fredrikstad are without a win in that same period.
- Fredrikstad like to sit compact in a mid-block and counter, but Rosenborg's style is to press and push them into mistakes, so it could be a bit of a chess match.
Betting Insights
- Rosenborg are the narrow favorites here at 2.1, but Fredrikstad are good enough to beat at 3.31 with the draw also coming in at 3.72.
- Rosenborg are unbeaten in 5 with 4 wins and 1 draw.
Prediction
Rosenborg have the better form and the edge in the H2H and an away goal average of 1.50 in the top flight is a very decent number so we are taking them to edge out a close game against a home side that has not been able to get the better of them in their last 2 meetings at Fredrikstad Stadion .
