Stian Molde's 63rd-minute strike proved the difference between the two sides.

Rosenborg, meanwhile, will be buzzing from the 1-0 victory they registered over Manchester United in a mid-week friendly. Noah Holm scored the winning goal in the third minute of injury time to help his side defeat the English giants.

Fredrikstad vs Rosenborg Prediction

Fredrikstad's return to the top-flight after a 12-year absence has seen them exceed expectations by some distance. They ended a mini-slump that saw them go five games without a win (draws) and the win over HamKam could spark Aristokratene back to their best.

Rosenborg sit just outside the relegation zone on goal difference although they have played one game fewer than their relegation rivals. They have struggled on their travels, losing five of their last six away games.

We are backing the hosts to claim a comfortable win with goals at both ends.
