Rosenborg BK will play a friendly match against Swedish side Östersunds FK on Saturday 3 October. The fixture is part of the team's preparations before facing Sandefjord in the Eliteserien next weekend.
Rosenborg enter the warm-up with confidence after a strong run of form. The team has won four league matches in a row and sits fifth in the table with 33 points. Their latest victory came away to Kristiansund BK, where Amin Chiakha scored his 13th goal of the season.
The friendly gives manager Alfred Johansson a chance to test formations and provide minutes to players who may have seen less action recently. Based on the team's last starting lineup, which included key figures like Oscar Selnæs and Mads Bomholt, it is likely several will get an opportunity. Östersunds FK themselves are coming off a win in the Allsvenskan and will provide a good level of opposition.
After the match against Östersunds, the focus shifts entirely back to the league. Rosenborg host Sandefjord at Lerkendal on 10 October, a match the team must win to keep pace with the top.
