Rosenborg BK head to Kristiansund Stadion on Saturday buoyed by strong form following a 5-3 win over Tromsø last weekend. The team has won four of its last five Eliteserien matches, scoring 15 goals in that span.
Form is strong
Rosenborg sit sixth in the Eliteserien with 30 points from 20 games. Top scorer Amin Chiakha has 12 goals this season. In the last two matches alone, the team has netted nine times, with victories over Ham-Kam and Tromsø. Noah Sahsah scored twice in the 5-3 win, with Ole Selnæs and Aslak Fonn Witry also on the scoresheet. The team's stats show a clear offensive upswing.
Kristiansund struggling
The opponent, Kristiansund BK, are coming off a heavy 8-1 away defeat to Viking and have just one win in their last five. They occupy 14th place in the table. In the previous meeting between the sides on July 12th, Rosenborg won 3-0 at home at Lerkendal.
The manager's squad for the away trip builds on the same lineup that beat Tromsø. Goalkeeper Leo Wahlstedt starts, behind a defence of Witry, M. Ceïde, Nemčík and Pereira. The midfield of Sahsah, Bomholt, Selnæs and Nordli will supply the forward pair of Amin Chiakha and E. Ceïde. View the full squad and upcoming fixtures on our pages.
