Rosenborg vs Sarpsborg 08 Prediction and Betting Tips | June 25th 2025

Rosenborg will host Sarpsborg 08 at Lerkendal Stadion on Wednesday in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Norwegian NM Cup campaign. The hosts will be desperate to return to winning ways and take a step closer to domestic cup glory.

Rosenborg were held to a draw in normal time by Kongsvinger but picked up a winner in the 112th minute to make it 3-2 and advance into the final eight. The Troll Kids, who have only played lower division sides in the cup so far, have picked up only one win in their last four outings and will be keen to improve on their mediocre form this weekend.

Sarpsborg also have only one win in their last four competitive games, with their last victory being a comfortable 3-1 win over 1st Division side Egersund in the last round of the cup. The visitors are six places behind the hosts in the Norwegian top-flight but will be optimistic of getting a result and progressing into the semifinals for only the second time in the club's history.
