Exciting matchup in the Eliteserien: Rosenborg hosts Haugesund at Lerkendal Stadion
Rosenborg will have the advantage of home ground when Haugesund visits for a new round in the Eliteserien 2025. With both teams having vastly different form curves, this matchup promises to be interesting.
Rosenborg comes into this match with a solid performance streak. They have been unbeaten in their last six matches, including four wins and two draws. Their strong defensive structure has been a key factor, as they have conceded only two goals over these matches. Rosenborg’s ability to keep a clean sheet three times at home, including a recent 3-0 victory against Bryne, shows that they are in good form ahead of their own supporters at Lerkendal Stadion.
In contrast, Haugesund has struggled in their last six encounters, with no wins and five losses. They have conceded a total of 16 goals, raising concerns for their defense ahead of the meeting with an efficient Rosenborg team. Their only draw in recent matches came against Fredrikstad. Managing to put together a positive performance away from home against a resurgent home favorite like Rosenborg could be a tall order.
History also favors Rosenborg. In their last eight head-to-head clashes, Rosenborg has won three, including a 3-1 victory last year. However, Haugesund has also managed to triumph in this matchup, as evidenced by their 2-1 win in September 2022.
With Rosenborg’s current form and Haugesund’s struggle to find a winning strategy, it seems that the home team has a strong advantage. But in football, anything is possible, and Haugesund will be eager to surprise the home fans at Lerkendal Stadion.
The match will be a crucial test for both teams, and with expected pressure from the supporters and exciting action on the field, Eliteserien fans should prepare for a dramatic afternoon in Trondheim.
