Rosenborg vs KFUM Prediction
Rosenborg lost both head-to-head games last season and will be wary of being too confident despite being the overwhelming favourites. They are five points behind table-toppers Viking and will ai, for maximum points to remain in the title race. The Trondheim outfit are yet to taste defeat in front of their fans this season.
KFUM, for their part, competed in the top flight of Norwegian football for the first time last season. They performed well, finishing eighth, but look unlikely to match those lofty standards this campaign.
Johannes Moesgaard's side find themselves in the relegation zone and are four points away from safety. Their last six away games have seen one side fail to score.
Hence, expect the hosts to claim a routine victory and also keep a clean sheet.
