Fredrikstad - Rosenborg

Liam West arrives at Fredrikstad Stadion on 31 October 2026 leading a Fredrikstad attack that recently found its rhythm in a five-goal cup victory over Ranheim. While that emphatic result provided a needed boost, the hosts have endured a challenging spell in the Eliteserien, including a heavy defeat to Molde and a narrow loss against Viking. The expected XI, anchored by the defensive trio of Daniel Eid, Solomon Owusu, and Fredrik Holme, must now tighten their structure to handle a side that has consistently dominated this head-to-head fixture in recent seasons.

Rosenborg travel to this matchday 25 encounter following a cup exit, yet their league form remains formidable after recent wins against Hamarkameratene and Sarpsborg 08. Despite the absence of Simen Bolkan Nordli, the visitors rely on the creativity of Emil Konradsen Ceide and the experience of Ole Kristian Selnaes to dictate play. With Rosenborg having secured a comfortable victory in their most recent league meeting back in July, they will look to exploit Fredrikstad's recent defensive vulnerabilities to maintain their momentum.
