Sports Mole previews Sunday's Norwegian Eliteserien clash between Viking FK and Rosenborg, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.
Sports Mole

Viking FK will attempt to extend their unbeaten league run to four matches when they welcome Rosenborg to the SR-Bank Arena for Sunday's Eliteserien contest.

The visitors, meanwhile, will be looking to make it three games without defeat after collecting four points from their last two fixtures.


Match preview

Having won five, drawn four and lost two of their 11 league matches, Viking are sitting in fifth spot and one point adrift of fourth-placed Molde, who they faced in their most recent outing on June 2.

After recording consecutive 3-0 victories, Viking went into the Molde clash with aspirations of claiming three more points in their final outing before the four-week break for Euro 2024.

They fought back from a goal down to establish a 2-1 lead against Molde courtesy of two own goals, but they were ultimately made to settle for a share of the spoils following Kristian Eriksen's 74th-minute equaliser.

Although they would have been disappointed to miss out on the win, Viking can be proud of the fact that they have lost just one of their last nine matches in the Eliteserien (W4, D4).

Having failed to win any of their last four league meetings with Rosenborg, Viking will be hoping to record a head-to-head win in the top flight for the first time since August 2021.

Rosenborg will return to action in ninth position and five points adrift of Sunday's opponents after winning four, drawing two and losing five of their 11 Eliteserien matches.

Alfred Johansson's side endured a five-game winless league run, before they finally returned to winning ways with a narrow 2-1 victory over Kristiansund last month.

They looked set to record a second straight victory in their most recent outing against Fredrikstad until Henrik Kjelsrud Johansen struck in the fifth minute of stoppage time to cancel out Santeri Vaananen's opener.

Rosenborg's hopes of claiming all three points this weekend will be tempered by the fact that they have won just one of their five away league matches (D1, L3).

However, they have fared well in recent meetings with Viking, having won each of their previous three head-to-head league matches, including a dominant 5-1 away victory in December.

Team News

The hosts could be without the services of left-back Franco Lino and midfielder Kristoffer Lokberg due to their respective injury issues.

Herman Haugen dropped down to the bench for Viking's most recent league outing, but he could come back into the side to replace Sondre Bjorshol at right-back.

Lars-Jorgen Salvesen will continue to lead the line for Viking, with the striker looking to add to the four league goals that he has scored this season.

As for the visitors, they are unable to call upon the injured Ole Saeter, while Tomas Nemcik and Jonathan Augustinsson are both doubts for Sunday's contest.

Noah Holm is in contention to make his first start of the season after returning from injury to feature as a substitute in Rosenborg's last three matches.

Should he be given the nod, Holm will most likely be joined in the front three by Marius Broholm and Jesper Reitan-Sunde.


Viking FK possible starting lineup:
Gunnarsson; Haugen, Stensness, Langas, Vevatne; Auklend, Bell, Yazbek; D'Agostino, Tripic, Salvesen

Rosenborg possible starting lineup:
Tangvik; Reitan, Ceide, Jenssen, Pereira; Tagseth, Selnaes, Vaanen; Broholm, Reitan-Sunde, Holm


We say: Viking FK 2-1 Rosenborg

Viking may have lost their last three league games against Sunday's opponents, but they have proven to be a tough team to beat this season, and we think that they could edge out a Rosenborg side that has lost three of their last five away games in the top flight.
