Viking chase top spot as Rosenborg defend home record
Second-place Viking travel to Trondheim looking to reclaim the Eliteserien summit, while Rosenborg aim to close a one-point gap to the European qualification spots.
Rosenborg enter this fixture in 9th place on 21 points, sitting just one point adrift of the European places with 14 games remaining. They have found momentum recently, winning four of their last five matches, including a 2-0 away victory at Lillestrom last time out. Despite their mid-table position, they remain one of the league's form teams heading into the second half of the season.
Viking are firmly in the title race, sitting 2nd on 40 points—just one point behind leaders Bodo/Glimt with a game in hand. Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim's side have won four of their last five, though the manager admitted his side were 'not at their best' during their recent 2-1 victory over Sarpsborg 08. They arrive in Trondheim knowing a win could see them retake first place.
