Relegation battle in Norway
Rosenborg BK and Kristiansund BK are 15th and 14th respectively, on 9 and 11 points after 11 games, for a relegation battle in the bottom six at Lerkendal Stadion on Sunday. Rosenborg have recent form with one win, a draw and three defeats from the last five games while Kristiansund have two wins and three losses.
They are a higher-tempo team that presses high and plays wide, while Kristiansund sit a little deeper and play a more direct style so the battle will be if Rosenborg can break down the lower block.
- Rosenborg arrive here off the back of a 1-2 away win over SK Brann Bergen which was a much improved showing after a 3-0 defeat at home to Aalesunds FK in a friendly last week.
- Amin Chiakha has been the sharpest edge for Rosenborg with two goals in their last five, while Leander Alvheim has been the finishing touch for Kristiansund with four of their six goals in the last five coming from his right foot.
- Kristiansund are shaky on the road, however, winning one of six, so the hosts should have the edge in what looks to be a close game.
Kristiansund should make it tough
Tactical approaches
Kristiansund boss Amund Skiri has kept this team in a compact, pragmatic style since taking over in 2023 and they look a side that are built to frustrate first and break second. Rosenborg boss Freyr Alexandersson, has introduced a more front-foot style since 17th June 2026 and it would not surprise if his team dominated this game.
Odds and outcome
However, the odds make it a very one-way game with Rosenborg favourites at 1.64, and Kristiansund 5.21 away. A Rosenborg win seems the most likely outcome, but both teams to score feels the likeliest alternative angle, in a game which should open up somewhat.
