Kristiansund vs Rosenborg Prediction
Kristiansund vs Rosenborg Prediction and Betting Tips for this Sunday, June 23, Eliteserien clash at Kristiansund Stadion. The hosts are looking to end a three-game losing streak, while the visitors aim to stay in the title race. Dive into our in-depth match preview and Eliteserien Predictions from XpertStats.
- Kristiansund have lost three consecutive league matches ahead of this clash.
- Rosenborg are unbeaten in their last seven games against Kristiansund.
- The visitors boast the league’s best defensive record with just seven goals conceded.
- The hosts have the joint-second worst defensive record in the Eliteserien.
Kristiansund’s return to the top flight has been anything but smooth. After narrowly avoiding relegation last season, the Owls find themselves in familiar territory — battling to stay above the drop zone. With just 13 points from 11 matches and only two wins in their last seven, confidence appears to be waning. The defensive vulnerabilities are glaring: Kristiansund concede an average of 1.25 goals per match and have the joint-second worst defensive record in the league. They’ve also failed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight games against Rosenborg.
Manager Amund Skiri’s squad is thin due to injuries, notably the long-term absence of defender Max Normann Williamsen. Offensively, Kristiansund have struggled to make a consistent impact, averaging just 0.5 goals per game. Their main threat comes from Sander Kilen, who has managed three goals from seven starts, but he’ll need more support if the Owls are to break their losing streak this weekend.
Rosenborg, meanwhile, are building momentum. With 22 points from 11 matches, Alfred Johansson’s side are third in the standings and just seven points off the top — with a game in hand. Their form is consistent, with six wins, four draws, and only one loss (against Bodø/Glimt). Defensively, they lead the league with only seven goals conceded and have shown strong resilience, particularly on the road. Their 4-0 win in the last trip to Kristiansund is a testament to their dominance in this fixture.
Despite minor injuries to Noah Sahsah and Tomas Nemcik, Rosenborg’s squad remains potent. Marius Broholm, who is set for a move to Lille next month, remains available and could provide the attacking edge. With their solid form and historical edge — including being unbeaten in their last seven meetings with Kristiansund — Rosenborg enter as deserved favorites. They’ll look to maintain pressure on Viking and continue their push for the title.

Rosenborg are clear favorites heading into Sunday’s clash, and the stats back them up. They’ve lost just once in their opening 11 Eliteserien games and currently hold the best defensive record in the division, conceding only seven goals — a testament to their well-organized backline. Offensively, they average 1.2 goals per match, which is more than double Kristiansund’s output of 0.5. The hosts have suffered three straight defeats and have one of the weakest defenses, conceding 18 goals in 11 matches. Additionally, Rosenborg have dominated the head-to-head, winning 12 of the last 24 meetings and going unbeaten in the last seven against Kristiansund. They even secured a comprehensive 4-0 win in their most recent visit to the Kristiansund Stadion. With Kristiansund missing key defensive players and struggling for consistency, Rosenborg’s superior quality and form make them the logical choice to take all three points.
