Rosenborg BK
- Mid-table Rosenborg BK should have too much for struggling Strømsgodset IF in Sunday’s relegation six-pointer at Lerkendal, but the matchup could be tighter than the bookmakers suggest; our Rosenborg BK vs Stromsgodset IF prediction focuses on the likelihood of a close contest.
- Rosenborg are mid-table in the Eliteserien with around 39 points from 28-29 games.
- Alfred Johansson’s side are 1.54 favourites to grab the three points, which would appear fair enough given the home side have won the majority of previous head-to-head meetings.
- Rosenborg have also been inconsistent, winning one, drawing one and losing three of their last five Eliteserien games with the sole win coming when they beat Vålerenga 1-0 at home and a draw coming in one of those fixtures; this is a key point for those considering Rosenborg BK vs Stromsgodset IF betting tips.
Strømsgodset IF
- Strømsgodset are in the relegation zone with approximately 20 points.
- However, Strømsgodset are a different animal this season under Dag-Eilev Fagermo, who took over the role of head coach again in June 2025.
- Godset have lost all five of their last league games, conceding 15 goals in the process and being humbled 2-6 by Sandefjord on home turf in their most recent outing; the poor defensive form further strengthens our Rosenborg BK vs Stromsgodset IF betting tips.
Head-to-Head
Rosenborg have won 18-19 of the 39-40 H2H meetings in all competitions, with Strømsgodset winning around 9 and drawing 12 .
Key Players
- Dino Islamović continues to be their biggest threat in the box, scoring double figures for the season, while Emil Konradsen Ceïde has been the team’s creative spark from the wide areas, leading the team in assists.
- David Duris has provided an extra cutting edge in the second half of the season, contributing goals and assists in recent matches.
- Marko Farji has been the best player on the park for Strømsgodset in 2025 and is the club’s highest scorer, but they lack the numbers in the attacking third to match Rosenborg’s quality.
Betting Insights
- Alfred Johansson’s side are 1.54 favourites to grab the three points.
- The Over 2.5 goals market is 1.36 in the current early odds.
Prediction
Hence, we’re going with the hosts to edge the game 2-1 in the exact score market and feel that backing both teams to score makes better sense than the 1.36 on the over 2.5 goal line.
