- Rosenborg host Viking in a crucial Eliteserien clash on Saturday.
- Viking top the table with nine wins in a row across competitions.
- Stats show a strong trend towards a high corners count for both sides.
Rosenborg find themselves needing a lift after a difficult June that has seen them win just once in five matches across all competitions. Alfred Johansson’s side did well to stay unbeaten at home in the league so far this season, winning three and drawing three. However, injuries and recent departures like Marius Broholm have left the squad thin. The Troillongan will lean on Dino Islamovic’s scoring touch, but they must tighten up after conceding four against Kristiansund last time out.
One positive for Rosenborg is their impressive corner stats at home. They average 7.33 corners won per match, with a high tendency to exceed 9.5 corners overall. This shows they can dominate wide areas and force set-piece chances, which could be vital against a free-scoring Viking side. With an average of 11.5 corners per game, Rosenborg consistently push the tempo in front of their home fans.
Viking come into this clash full of confidence. The visitors have won each of their last five league games and boast an unbeaten run stretching 17 games in all competitions. Peter Christiansen has been key, bagging seven goals in his last eight outings. Joint managers Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim and Morten Jensen have built a side that scores freely, with an average of 2.67 goals per game and a strong record for over 2.5 goals matches. Despite some injuries and a suspension for Zlatko Tripic, Viking look well placed to keep their title charge on track.
Interestingly, Viking also thrive when it comes to corners. They average 6.33 corners won per match, with a high rate of matches clearing the 9.5 line – identical to Rosenborg’s stats. This points to an open contest with plenty of action in wide areas and numerous set-piece opportunities. With both sides trending strongly in this market, our tipsters see real value in the Eliteserien Predictions corners angle for this encounter.
When you look at the numbers, backing Over 9.5 Corners makes perfect sense for Rosenborg vs Viking. Rosenborg average a solid 7.33 corners won per match and 4.17 conceded, totaling an average of 11.5 corners. Viking mirror that with 6.33 corners won and 5.17 conceded, also hitting 11.5 corners per game. Both sides have consistently cleared the 9.5 corners line: Rosenborg in 67% of their matches and Viking in an impressive 83%. Tactically, Rosenborg’s tendency to dominate wide areas at home means they win multiple corners per half, especially when trailing or level. Viking’s attacking mindset under Aarsheim and Jensen means they will push for goals throughout, generating additional corners. Neither side sits back, so end-to-end play should drive the count up. The stats strongly back this trend, making Over 9.5 Corners a smart bet based on reliable patterns rather than guesswork.
