Rosenborg vs Aalesund Preview
Rosenborg return home looking to build on their recent victory over Lillestrom after a mixed run of results in the league. Aalesund arrive under pressure after several disappointing performances, especially away from home where goals have been difficult to find.
Recent meetings between these teams have generally favoured Rosenborg in Trondheim. They won 4-0 at home in one of the previous clashes, although Aalesund did manage a 1-0 victory in the reverse fixture during the 2023 season.
Rosenborg Hoping To Build On Recent Home Result
Rosenborg responded well after the heavy 3-0 defeat against Viking by beating Lillestrom 2-0 at home. Before that, they drew 1-1 with Brann in a balanced contest and also held Sandefjord to a goalless draw away from home.
Home performances have still shown signs of promise despite some inconsistency. Rosenborg defeated Sarpsborg 2-1 earlier in the campaign and completely overwhelmed Stromsgodset 6-0 in their previous home run, showing how effective they can become when they settle into matches early.
Aalesund Still Searching For Stability Away From Home
Aalesund have struggled to recover from a difficult start to the season. The 1-0 defeat against Sandefjord followed another poor outing away to Bodo/Glimt where they failed to score and conceded three times without offering much attacking threat.
Their away form remains worrying ahead of this trip to Trondheim. Aalesund lost 3-0 against Bodo/Glimt and were also beaten 1-0 by Sandefjord recently, although they did manage a 1-1 draw away to Start earlier in the campaign.
Rosenborg vs Aalesund Prediction
The opening betting tip is Rosenborg to win to nil at 3.17 odds. Rosenborg kept a clean sheet in the recent 2-0 victory over Lillestrom, while Aalesund have failed to score in two of their last three away league matches. Rosenborg also controlled the previous home meeting between these sides comfortably in a 4-0 win.
Under 2.5 goals at 2.35 odds also looks appealing here. Rosenborg’s recent matches against Lillestrom, Brann, and Sandefjord all stayed below three goals, and Aalesund have struggled badly in attack away from home. The visitors have scored only once across their last three away league fixtures.
The correct score prediction is a 1-0 Rosenborg victory at 10.00 odds. Rosenborg have looked more organised defensively in recent home matches, while Aalesund continue to find it difficult creating chances on the road. A tight game with few opportunities could suit the home side here.
