Rosenborg
- Rosenborg has lost just 1 of their 4 home matches in Eliteserien 2026, winning 2 and drawing 1.
- Rosenborg BK, who sit 13th in the Norway Eliteserien 2026 standings with 8 points from 8 games, will be looking to get back to a winning streak on Saturday when they host Aalesunds FK.
- Interim boss Alexander Tettey, who took charge of Rosenborg in May 2026, has immediately implemented a more pragmatic approach than his predecessor, opting for a more direct style to get some confidence back into the squad.
- Rosenborg has conceded just 1.00 goal per home game in the current Eliteserien campaign, highlighting the newfound defensive resilience at the Lerkendal.
Aalesunds FK
- Aalesunds FK is winless in their 3 away matches in the Eliteserien 2026 (D1, L2).
- Rekdal’s men score just 0.33 goals on average per away game in the Norwegian top flight and concede an average of 1.67 goals, which will have to change if they are to climb off the bottom after their recent promotion.
Head-to-Head
2023’s head-to-head saw Rosenborg win 4-0 at the Lerkendal, so Aalesunds will be desperate to avoid a repeat performance.
Key Players
The hosts will need to keep things tight at the back if they are to win this one, with midfield maestro Simen Bolkan Nordli , Rosenborg’s main creative spark, yet again in the goals, having scored 2 of their 5 goals in their last 5 outings.
Betting Insights
- We’re expecting a cagey affair here with both sides cancelling each other out somewhat, so we’re going for under 2.5 goals and both teams not to score.
- Odds for the selections are: Rosenborg to WIN at 1.66, under 2.5 goals at 2.38, and both teams to score - no at 2.34.
Prediction
- A home win for Rosenborg is expected, as the Troppen will no doubt be highly motivated to return to winning ways after their poor start and new boss Tettey will be eager to earn his stripes and perhaps claim the head coach role on a permanent basis.
- Aalesunds FK’s woeful away record and lack of attacking prowess in recent weeks makes a Rosenborg win an extremely likely outcome.
