Lillestroem welcome Rosenborg at Aaraasen Stadion, Skedsmo on Sunday, Aug 9 at 2:30 PM in a Eliteserien fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Lillestroem come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 3L). Rosenborg travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Lillestroem and Rosenborg have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (5W–1D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Lillestroem won 0–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Lillestroem win or a draw looks most likely.
