Fredrikstad vs Rosenborg Prediction and Betting Tips

Fredrikstad will host Rosenborg at Fredrikstad Stadion on Wednesday in another round of the 2025 Eliteserien campaign. Both sides will be keen to get a win that would actively keep them in the title race early in the season.

Fredrikstad failed to pick up any points in a 4-3 defeat to Bryne during the weekend to mark only their second loss of the league campaign. They have won five and drawn one of their opening eight games of the season and are seven points off the top with two games in hand, and will be looking to return to winning ways this week to remain relevant in the title race.

Rosenborg were humiliated by the defending champions Bodø/Glimt last time out in a 4-0 thrashing, but remain two points clear of this midweek's visitors, having played one game more. The visitors had been on a 13-game unbeaten run before their last outing and will be optimistic to restart a similarly impressive run and push higher up the table in the coming weeks.
