Viking Stavanger
- Viking (2nd, 15 points from 6 games) will host Rosenborg BK (13th, 5 points from 6) in the Eliteserien 2026 this Friday in a matchup where the hosts will be heavy favorites to take all three points.
- Viking Stavanger have won their last five matches consecutively (W5, D0, L0).
- Viking Stavanger have won all three home matches in Eliteserien 2026, scoring an average of 4.00 goals per home game.
- This is no doubt helped by the creativity of Zlatko Tripic, who has already provided four assists in that time, however, the team as a whole will be a tough nut to crack for the visitors.
Rosenborg BK
- Rosenborg BK have played three away games in Eliteserien 2026 and failed to win any, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game.
- Robin Shroot’s Rosenborg are an interesting mix of a striker-led 4-4-2/4-2-3-1 system, an aggressive pressing strategy, and direct play on the break.
- This is because of the presence of Ole Sæter, a powerful and clinical striker who leads the line and can score and create from any area of the field, especially when operating as the tip of the spear.
- The visitors have played some good football at times this season, however, they have struggled to find consistency in their results, drawing their last two games and picking up one win and two defeats from their other three.
- This is a testament to their lack of defensive solidity, often sacrificing solidity in order to press and create in the attack.
Key Players

- Tobias Børkeeiet is a dynamic ball-winner in the center of the park, who can provide the legs and energy Rosenborg will need to break the lines and break through Viking’s backline.

- Ole Sæter is a powerful and clinical striker who leads the line and can score and create from any area of the field, especially when operating as the tip of the spear.
