Unbeaten against Kristiansund at Lerkendal Stadion, Rosenborg sees a great opportunity to take 3 precious points for Europe. Kristiansund, 6 points behind the leader, made a good start to the season with 6 wins in 11 days. Michelsen’s team was relieved after their victory against Brann (3-2) because it erases the bad series that lasted.
