On Sunday Apr 30th, in week 4, Odd and Rosenborg will play a match in Skien in a meeting of these two Eliteserien teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 8 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. 5th placed Odd is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against Sarpsborg 08. Neither Sarpsborg 08 nor Odd could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 14 and 12 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a scoreless draw,. Odd is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches, while rosenborg sits at 6th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-1 draw against Sandefjord. Bikoro struck first for Sandefjord in the 31st minute on a feed from Alexander Ruud Tveter, then in the 4th minute of the second half’s stoppage time, Nelson sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Carlo Holse earning them at least the one point. Rosenborg is looking for direction having 1 win and 0 losses in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Rosenborg won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Stefano Vecchia and Adrian Nilsen Pereira are the top scorers for Rosenborg in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Mikael Ingebrigtsen has been the most effective weapon for Odd lately. The Norwegian attacker has netted two goals in his last five matches.
