Rosenborg vs Haugesund Prediction and Betting Tips

Rosenborg will host Haugesund at the Lerkendal Stadion on Friday in another round of the 2025 Eliteserien campaign. The home side have enjoyed a bright start to their season and now sit third in the table with 15 points from seven matches as they begin an early push for continental football.

They played out a goalless draw against Brann in their last match and could have no major complaints about the result after being second-best in attack for much of the contest.

Haugesund had to rely on the relegation playoffs to escape the drop last season, but have begun the new season in wretched form. They were thrashed 4-1 by Viking FK last time out, finding themselves two goals down in the first half before a red card to team captain Bruno Leite later in the half all but scuppered their chances of a favorable result in front of their home fans.

The visitors sit rock-bottom in the table with just one point from an obtainable 21 and will be desperate to pick up their first league win of the campaign soon.
