Relegation threatened teams meet in Norway
Rosenborg BK vs Kristiansund BK preview: Rosenborg BK and Kristiansund BK are set to lock horns at Lerkendal Stadion, Norway on Sunday in a relegation-six-pointer, with the hosts in 15th place on nine points from 11 matches, just below Kristiansund in 14th on 11 points.
Rosenborg's form in all competitions has been mixed (W1, D1, L3) across their last five, but they do come into this with a bit more momentum following a 2-0 away loss to KFUM and a 2-2 home draw with Bodø/Glimt.
Freyr Alexandersson has brought a more front-foot approach to the team since he took over as head coach on 17 June 2026, which has certainly made them a more exciting team to watch, if not necessarily win with.
Kristiansund are a dogged, pragmatic side
Kristiansund, under the guidance of Amund Skiri, have played a compact and pragmatic game since 2023 and look to frustrate first and foremost, before breaking.
In Eliteserien 2026, Rosenborg have won two, drawn two and lost two of their six home games, while Kristiansund have won one, drawn one and lost four of their six away games.
Rosenborg have scored nine goals in their six at home, and Kristiansund have conceded ten on the road at 1.67 goals per game, so there should be goals in this one and that feeds into our Rosenborg BK vs Kristiansund BK betting tips.
Side with the home team
The bookmakers heavily favour the hosts, but they are the rightful favorites here and look overpriced at 1.64. Kristiansund are 5.21 for the win and our Rosenborg BK vs Kristiansund BK prediction leans toward the Over 2.5 and Both Teams to Score - Yes wagers at 1.69 and 1.68, respectively.
Rosenborg's last two results were a 2-0 away defeat to KFUM and a 2-2 home draw with champions Bodø/Glimt, showing their ability to stay in matches but also their lack of control over the game.
Amin Chiakha has been Rosenborg's most dangerous player of late with two of their six goals in their last five matches, while Leander Alvheim has been Kristiansund's main man with four of their six in the same period.
The result is likely to go the way of the more positive team and Rosenborg look to be that side right now, so we'll take a Rosenborg win and BTTS for a bit of extra value if the game opens up, which fits this Rosenborg BK vs Kristiansund BK prediction.
