Rosenborg -1/-1.5 Goals Handicap
Rosenborg are having a fine home form this season with the team going unbeaten in five games at the Lerkendal. Moreover, five of their last ten fixtures saw Rosenborg win by a two-goal margin.
Over 2.5 Goals
60% of Rosenborg’s home games and 75% of Jerv’s away games produced over 2.5 goals. In addition, the only meeting between these two teams had three goals.
Correct Score 2-0
Rosenborg’s average number of goals this season at home is 2.00. On the other side, Jerv while playing on the road usually concede 2.5 goals per game.
In a very tight game in the previous round, Rosenborg drew 1-1 with high flying Viking on the road. In fact, the Trollongans took the lead early in the game but had to settle for a draw after an own goal by defender Pereira in a match that had just three shots on goal from each team.
Champions of Norway for a record 26 times, Rosenborg are looking for their first title since 2018. They are currently 12 points off the pace from leaders Lillestrom and coach Kjetil Rekdal knows his defense is not playing up to the level he desires as they let in 1.25 goals per game.
Jerv meanwhile are finding life hard in the Eliteserien after gaining promotion from the OBOS-Ligaen (2nd division) the last term. To illustrate, the Yellow and Blues lost seven of their 11 games since the start of the season and their last round’s win came after a five-match losing streak.
Boss Arne Sandsto needs to find quick solutions in attack as his team were on the scoresheet just six times in 11 league fixtures. Moreover, playing on the road is not something Jerv like with 53% of the goals conceded in the Eliteserien coming on foreign soil.
The bookies are offering odds as low as 1.32 for a Rosenborg win so we have to look for another market to make more profit. The handicap market at Sportsbet.io is offering odds of 1.60 for Rosenborg to cover -1/-1.5 goals in this match and we will back it.

Stefano Vecchia is the top scorer for Rosenborg this season with seven strikes. The Swedish attacking player is known for his long-range shots and being a free kick specialist. Last season the 27-year-old scored 17 goals and we predict for him to raise his tally in this match as well.
Rosenborg midfielder Markis Henriksen is suspended for receiving a red card and forward Noah Jean Holm is out of action due to a groin injury.
As for Jerv, currently, there are no injured or suspended players reported as coach Sandsto needs all his players fully fit to salvage his team from its position.
Rosenborg: Hansen, Borkeeiet, Giampaoli, Rogers, Dahl Reitan, Skarsem, Jensen, Pereira, Holse, Vecchia, Saeter.
Jerv: Ovretveit, Arrocha, Sandberg, Kolskogen, Haarup. Ugland, Wichmann, Norheim, Furtado, Hustad, Diallo.
