The win propeled them to seventh in the standings, having garnered 22 points from 16 games, while Rosenborg are tenth with 19 points after 16 outings.

Rosenborg vs Odd Prediction
Rosenborg have been inconsistent throughout the season and are in danger of missing out on European football. However, they have a great record against Odd and enter the game as marginal favourites despite their inconsistency in the last few months.
The hosts could also be affected by fatigue, having travelled to Northern Ireland for the first leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round. So, it could be an excellent opportunity for Odd to snap their six-game winless streak against Rosenborg.
Both sides like to play expansively on the front foot and are defensively vulnerable. That means there could be goalsccoring chances galore. Expect Rosenborg claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
Prediction: Rosenborg 3-1 Odd
