Rosenborg - Tromsoe
Rosenborg look to extend momentum against struggling Tromsoe
Rosenborg enter this matchday 21 clash at Lerkendal Stadion riding a wave of confidence following a dominant 4-0 victory over Hamarkameratene last week. The hosts have shown significant attacking flair throughout the summer, though they must navigate the absence of key figures Jonas Svensson and Iver Fossum as they look to maintain their upward trajectory in the Eliteserien. With the expected XI led by Emil Konradsen Ceide and Amin Chiakha, Rosenborg will aim to assert their authority at home and avenge their earlier season defeat to the visitors.
Tromsoe arrive at Lerkendal Stadion facing a challenging period, having struggled to find the net in their recent league outings, including a 2-0 loss to Kristiansund BK. Mathias Toennessen remains a notable absentee for the side as they look to rediscover the form that saw them dismantle CFR Cluj in European competition last month. History suggests a tight contest, as Tromsoe have proven to be difficult opponents for Rosenborg in recent meetings, securing a 2-0 win when the sides last faced off on 6 April 2026.
