Rosénborg put their two-match unbeaten run to the test on Thursday afternoon when they played host to Banga Gargždai in the first leg of the second qualifying round of the Champions League.
The hosts secured their place in this round with a fourth-place finish in the Norwegian top flight, while Banga Gargzdai finished fifth in the Lithuanian A Lyga.
Rosenborg were last in action last week when they travelled to Sarpsborg for an Eliteserien match. Alfred Björn Johansson scored two goals for the second game in a row, but the team were let down by their defence again and ended up drawing 2:2. However, the Troll Kids will be encouraged by their 2-0 win in their last home game.
Meanwhile, Banga were looking to end a three-match winless streak last weekend when they visited Džiugas for Matchday 20 of the Lithuanian professional league. Afonso’s side failed to score for the third consecutive game, drawing goalless, and now face another tough challenge on Thursday against Rosenborg in Europe.
Rosenborg vs Banga Gargzdai Betting Tips: Under 3.5 goals
The hosts' last game produced four goals but most of their recent matches at the Lerkendal Stadium tend to be very close. Four of the last five ended with fewer than 2.5 goals, and I expect a similar outcome on Thursday.
Not only have Rosenborg's recent home games been tight, but Banga are also struggling to score goals – they failed to do so in each of their last three outings.
- Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals
- Rosenborg vs Banga Gargzdai prediction: 2-0
