In a weekend match in week 15, on Sunday Jul 23rd, Rosenborg and Strømsgodset will play a match in Drammen in a clash of the Eliteserien. Strømsgodset is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Brann. Niklas Jensen Wassberg struck first for Brann in the 29th minute on a feed from Niklas Castro, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Strømsgodset couldn’t muster any offence and Brann ran away with the shutout win. Strømsgodset should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 10th placed Rosenborg, recorded a 2-1 win against Tromsø. Ole Saeter struck first for Rosenborg in the 41st minute, then in the 69th minute, Niclas Vesterlund sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by El Hadji Malick Diouf. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10.

Rosenborg’s most prolific scorer has been Ole Saeter. The Norwegian attacker has netted 2 goals over the last 5 matches. Strømsgodset’s most prolific scorer has been Jonatan Brunes. The Norwegian midfielder has netted three goals over the last five matches.
