**Rosenborg roll into Kristiansund as the form team here** — four wins in their last five is serious business, while the hosts are all over the place. 🔴⚪

Kristiansund have been a mess lately, sandwiched between a nightmare 1-8 drubbing at Viking and decent showings elsewhere. Rosenborg, meanwhile, just demolished HamKam 4-0 and are hunting titles. The visitors hold a strong h2h edge too.

Key storylines:

- **Rosenborg's attacking firepower** has been lethal; **N. Sahsah** and **A. Chiakha** will be hungry against a shaky Kristiansund backline
- **Kristiansund need **Z. Bytyqi** and **L. Alvheim** to create chaos up front and nick something on the counter
- Rosenborg's missing list (**D. Islamović, I. Fossum, J. J. Bakke, J. Svensson**) is long but hasn't dented their run yet

Expected lineups:

- **Kristiansund BK**: M. Lansing, J. Kitolano, D. P. Ulvestad, J. M. Júlíusson, H. Haugen, W. G. Igor, J. Isaksen, H. G. Bruseth, Z. Bytyqi, L. Alvheim, S. Svendsen
- **Rosenborg BK**: L. Wahlstedt, A. Pereira, M. K. Ceide, T. Nemčík, A. Witry, S. Nordli, M. Bomholt, O. Selnaes, N. Sahsah, A. Chiakha, E. Ceide

Prediction:

**Rosenborg 2-0 Kristiansund** — the visitors have the form, the firepower, and the h2h edge. Kristiansund rarely trouble them at home. ⚪
