Rosenborg have not been among the protagonists of the Norwegian league for quite some time. Their recent seasons have been disappointing. Last year they finished seventh and this season it will be difficult for them to do much better. They started the season as the eighth favorite in the market to win the title and after the first eight rounds, they are tied with four other teams in ninth place.

As a squad they look somewhat improved compared to last year, but there is no budget capable of changing their current status. Their upcoming schedule becomes easier, while the coaching change, with former star Alexander Tettey taking over as interim coach, initially worked. With a very good performance, they won 2-0 at home against strong Lillestrom and created expectations for the future.

Aalesund returned to the top division this season but the markets consider them favorites to return immediately to the second tier. Neither their pre-season matches (friendlies and Cup), nor their league start, nor their transfer activity leave much room for optimism. With three points from their first seven matches, they are sitting at the bottom of the standings.

Rosenborg are in good form and can capitalize on their superior quality to secure back to back wins. In the full time result market, the home win is offered above 1,65 and at those levels it is worth backing.
