Rosenborg - Viking

Rosenborg host Viking at Lerkendal Stadion on Friday, 14 August 2026, in matchday 18 of the Eliteserien. The home side are expected to field a forward line featuring Emil Konradsen Ceide, Amin Chiakha, and David Duris, supported by midfielders Ole Kristian Selnaes and Noah Sahsah. Their defensive unit is likely to include Tomas Nemcik and Mikkel Konradsen Ceide. Viking, meanwhile, anticipate a strike force of Edvin Austboe, Peter Christiansen, and Zlatko Tripic, with Kristoffer Askildsen and Simen Kvia-Egeskog in midfield. The visitors will be without injured trio Anders Baertelsen, Henrik Falchener, and Joe Bell, while Rosenborg are missing Iver Fossum.

Viking come into this fixture on the back of a mixed run, having won three of their last six league matches, including a recent 2-1 home victory over Sarpsborg 08. They have shown attacking threat in recent games, scoring three goals in their last two away fixtures. Rosenborg, however, have been in strong form, winning four of their last five Eliteserien outings, most recently a 2-0 away win against Lillestroem. Their home form has been particularly potent, with three clean sheets in their last three home games. The head-to-head record shows Viking winning the reverse fixture 3-0 earlier this season.
