Rosenborg are eighth in the league and have won two of their last five league games. Former Sirius attacker Stefano Vecchia has registered six league goals this season for his club.

Kristiansund, on the other hand, are bottom of the league table and have lost four of their last five league games. They are already eight points behind 14th-placed Haugesund and will have to improve their form as soon as possible.

We expect Rosenborg to win.
