Sarpsborg vs Rosenborg – This afternoon at Sarpsborg Stadion, Sarpsborg 08 takes on Rosenborg in one of the most interesting games of Matchday No 3 in the Eliteserien.
The visitors will be looking to keep their unbeaten start to the season going, but they will be put to the test, especially after Sarpsborg 08 earned their first win of the season last weekend.
Rosenborg earned four out of a possible six points in the first two rounds. This would be a fantastic return if we knew they would be facing reigning champions Bodo and Glimt in their first game of the season.
Despite allowing the champions 23 efforts on goal on the first day, Rosenborg battled to a 2-2 draw and a crucial point at Aspmyra Stadion.
Rosenborg’s hero was Tobias Borkeeiet, who had a brace on the day. The first tie was followed by a close 1-0 win over Odd eight days ago. Seven minutes from time, Noah Holm made the difference by scoring the game’s only goal.
Sarpsborg, on the other hand, rebounded back from their first-ever home loss to Viking (0-1) by defeating Kristiansund 2-3 on the road, courtesy to a strong first-half performance.
Last Sunday, Stefan Billborn’s team scored three straight goals in the first half at Kristiansund. Will they be able to build on this performance and beat Rosenborg?
Sarpsborg vs Rosenborg – Betting Analysis
Rosenborg has always been the dominant power in this encounter, and in the last 21 meetings with Sarpsborg, the visitors have won 15, drawn 4, and lost only twice.
In their previous match with Sarpsborg in September of last year, Rosenborg won 1-3, and in the first two rounds, the two teams made a comparable impression, and we think a stalemate is the most likely of the three outcomes.
Given their attacking form at the start of the season, neither team should be able to keep a clean sheet. The draw is worth 3.30 odds, while the Both Teams To Score bet is worth 1.61 odds.
