Sarpsborg 08
- Sarpsborg 08 have won 2 and drawn 2 of their last 5 matches in all competitions.
- Rosenborg BK come into this Eliteserien 2026 game in better form and with the higher position in the table (5th with 34 points from 22 matches) than their home side Sarpsborg 08 (9th with 28 points) but Sarpingene have won their last 2 games in a row.
- That run has put a little momentum behind Even Sel's side, who haven't won either of their last 2 home games (D1, L1).
Rosenborg BK
- Rosenborg BK are unbeaten in their last 5 in all competitions (W4, D1).
- The Troillongan are a much more expansive side under Freyr Alexandersson, who has been in charge since 17th June 2026.
- They press high and progress the ball quickly down the wings when they win it back, which should make for an exciting clash of styles on Sunday - press versus break.
Head-to-Head
The head-to-head record in 2026 is 1-1, no draws and the last meeting saw the Troillongan edge it 2-1, so the margin between these sides is pretty fine and the hosts will get chances to make a game of it.
Betting Insights
- The odds of 2.4 for the visitors seem a bit low here when you consider the hosts are priced up at 2.55 and the draw is 3.8.
- Backing Both Teams to Score at 1.42 looks the clearest angle for this game as the clash of playing styles should ensure there are chances at both ends.
- Sarpsborg have conceded 12 goals at home in 2026, which is a decent rate of 1.20 per game.
- Rosenborg have the quality to do just that and have scored 12 on the road already in Eliteserien 2026, so they should be able to find the goal that might edge this to an away win.
