Rosenborg BK vs KFUM Oslo - Match Preview
- KFUM Oslo have lost four and drawn one of their last five league games
Rosenborg have won three and drawn two of their five home games in Eliteserien 2025
KFUM have lost three in a row in the Eliteserien
Rosenborg ready to roll over Oslo visitors
Rosenborg BK are heavy favorites at 1.53 to beat KFUM Oslo at home this weekend while the visitors are priced at 6.00 to cause an upset.
The odds on the home side reflect the fact that KFUM are in terrible form while Rosenborg are third in Eliteserien 2025 with 18 points from nine games. Troillongan have had a decent start to the season and it seems that Robin Shroot’s tactical skills have given some structure to a club that was in freefall under his predecessor.
For more context, our Rosenborg BK vs KFUM Oslo prediction reflects the difference in their recent form. Rosenborg have won three and tied two of their home games in the league this season, although they have not beaten KFUM in the last two meetings. Oslo won 1-0 at home in the 2024 edition of Eliteserien.
Shroot’s side have the structure to win
But all the signs are that Rosenborg should win this game and the odds on the hosts are almost too good to ignore. This Rosenborg BK vs KFUM Oslo betting tips section highlights that KFUM Oslo have four points from eight games and are languishing in 15th place in the standings.
The visitors have lost their last three league games against Tromsø, Fredrikstad and Vålerenga. Johannes Moesgaard took over as head coach at the start of 2023 and his ability to adapt has always been his trademark, but this season the results are not matching the intent.
The Rosenborg BK vs KFUM Oslo preview also notes that KFUM Oslo play a higher-tempo, more team-oriented style of soccer that is in contrast to the patient, possession-based game that Rosenborg have played under Shroot. The battle of tempos could be key in this game and there is a good chance that the more measured approach of the home team will prevail.
Yttergård Jenssen anchors the defense
Marius Broholm has been in great form for Rosenborg, scoring two of their last 5 league goals in their five Eliteserien home matches this term, and he can be a difference-maker again on Sunday. But Sverre Nypan’s creativity and technical quality in midfield will be crucial to breaking down a stubborn opponent.
Veteran defender Ulrik Yttergård Jenssen brings the experience and solidity that anchors Rosenborg’s back four at Lerkendal, where they have not lost this term. KFUM Oslo's Vegard Kongsro is still a handful, bringing energy and box-to-box ability to the team, but they may not have the firepower to trouble the hosts in this contest.
Our final Rosenborg BK vs KFUM Oslo prediction recommends backing Rosenborg to win as the best play for this clash while an under 2.5 goals bet could also appeal.
