Rosenborg vs Lillestrøm Prediction: 21/7/2024

Rosenborg will aim to stabilize their league campaign as they host Lillestrøm in a Sunday evening clash. With Fugla in seventh place on 19 points and Troillongan 11th, only two points separate the sides. Let’s delve into the stats and make a prediction for this match.

Earlier this week, Rosenborg took a break from league action to face Manchester United in a friendly, securing a 1-0 victory. This win should boost their morale following an inconsistent run in the Eliteserien.

In their first 14 league matches, Rosenborg secured only five victories. Over their last 10 league games, they have managed just two wins, with six losses and conceding two or more goals in seven of those matches. However, they have only failed to score once in these 10 games.
