- Competition: Eliteserien
- Date: 1st May 2025
- Kick-off: 17:00 UK / 18:00 CEST
- Venue: Lerkendal Stadion
Two sides separated by four places and four points in the Norwegian top flight meet on Thursday afternoon as Rosenborg play host to Kristiansund.
Rosenborg have been great to watch on all fronts this season and are unbeaten in all competitions. The Troll children boast three wins from their four league games so far, and have won their two Norwegian Cup games by a combined score of 14-1.
Kristiansund have also enjoyed a successful run in the Norwegian Cup, winning the first two rounds and also scored nine goals over the course of the two fixtures. The Owls are yet to replicate that form in the league as they boast just two wins from their five games so far. However, Amund Skiri's side will be encouraged by the fact that one of those victories came on the road.
Rosenborg vs Kristiansund BK Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
The clashes between Rosenborg and Kristiansund have a history of being highly entertaining. Their last meeting in December featured four goals, all of which were scored by Rosenborg and bets on over 2.5 goals won in each of the last four.
Kristiansund are yet to keep a clean sheet in all competitions this season and conceded at least two goals in each of their last three league games. Six of their seven games have ended with 3+ goals and I expect a similar result on Friday.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

Rosenborg team news
Despite failing to take all three points against Molde last weekend, Rosenborg may resist the temptation to make changes to the side that kept a third successive clean sheet.
Noah Sahsah missed that game with a knee injury and Thursday's game will come too soon for the winger, but the hosts don't have any suspensions.

Kristiansund BK team news
Kristiansund head coach Amund Skiri is expected to make changes to the side that took the field from kick-off in last weekend's defeat to Valerenga.
Having come on as substitutes in that game, Niklas Ødegård and Alioune Ndour are among those expected to benefit from the reshuffle.
