In a weekend match in week 3, on Sunday Apr 23rd, Rosenborg will host Sandefjord at Lerkendal Stadion in a Eliteserien match. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only 4 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. In their last match, 3rd placed Rosenborg, recorded a 1-1 draw against Molde. Benjamin Hansen struck first for Molde in the 18th minute, then Kristoffer Haugen tied it up for Rosenborg on an own goal in the 34th minute earning them at least the one point. Rosenborg is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches, while 14th placed Sandefjord is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against Tromsø. Neither Sandefjord nor Tromsø could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 17 and 4 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw,. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 1 of their last 10.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Rosenborg won the head to head battle with 2 wins. Tobias Borchgrevink Borkeeiet and Santeri Vaananen are the top scorers for Rosenborg in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.
