On Sunday Jul 9th, Rosenborg hosts Lillestrøm at Lerkendal Stadion in a meeting of these two closely matched Eliteserien teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 16 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Rosenborg sits at 12th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-1 loss against Aalesund. Markus Karlsbakk scored the first goal for Aalesund in the 47th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Rosenborg couldn’t manage to score, and Aalesund took the shutout win. Rosenborg looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches, while lillestrøm is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Tromsø. Mai Traore struck first for Tromsø in the 50th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Lillestrøm couldn’t muster any offence and Tromsø ran away with the shutout win. Lillestrøm should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Akor Adams has been on a hot streak lately. In the last five games, hes scored four goals for Lillestrøm. For Rosenborg, their top scorers are Olaus Jair Skarsem and Jayden Nelson, each having 2 goals in their last 5 matches.
