A perfect record at home
Viking are currently flying high in Eliteserien 2026, sitting 2nd in the standings with 15 points from 6 games. Our Viking Stavanger vs Rosenborg BK prediction is boosted by their record: they have won all 3 of their matches at home, scoring an average of 4.00 goals per game, and are looking to extend their winning run against Rosenborg BK, who have been in inconsistent form (W1, D2, L2) over their last 5 league matches, drawing each of their last 2 games.
Viking’s coach Morten Jensen has been in charge since 2021, instilling a sense of discipline and high-intensity in his team. The team have adapted a compact 4-3-3 formation in which all players press in unison and then make lightning fast transitions wide when possession is won.

Viking’s players are in excellent form coming into this fixture, particularly Zlatko Tripic, who has provided 4 assists in the last 5 games. Patrik Gunnarsson is an excellent leader and defender in the backline whilst Veton Berisha is a relentless pressing machine and will always be on the hunt to exploit gaps in the defence, particularly when the opposition have the ball in wide areas.
A direct approach
Rosenborg BK have shown mixed form recently, sitting 13th in the table with 5 points from 6 matches. Coach Robin Shroot has been in charge at the helm since 2024, and has recently emphasized a blend of high pressing and direct play. The Viking Stavanger vs Rosenborg BK preview highlights that the 4-4-2/4-2-3-1 system they adopt is fronted by the talented Ole Sæter, who often leads the charge in their quick vertical attacks. Tobias Børkeeiet provides energy and ball-winning ability in the midfield, crucial for breaking Viking’s lines.
Viking to continue their winning streak
Viking are looking unstoppable in Norway’s Eliteserien 2026 and with a home advantage and a perfect home record, this Viking Stavanger vs Rosenborg BK prediction is that they’re favoured to take all 3 points once again. They have a fantastic attacking output but also a well organised and compact defensive unit who will keep Rosenborg out.
We’re going for Viking to win and for the game to feature over 2.5 goals, with Viking’s defence likely to keep Rosenborg off the scoresheet, but it could be close!
