Rosenborg host Sandefjord in the Eliteserien, and the home side are the hottest team in the league right now after crushing their opponents 4-0 in their previous league match, while the visitors have just taken a 1-0 win in the cup and won 3-0 in the league last time out. The two teams therefore arrive in confident moods of different kinds. Rosenborg have won five in a row, scoring heavily in every match, and at home they have scored in the first half of every game they have played. They have led at half-time in as many as six of eight home matches. Sandefjord, meanwhile, may look improved, but their defence is still a concern, as they have conceded more than they have scored all season, and the second half is when they concede most. This game should open up early, because both sides score in their own build-up play. If Sandefjord score first, they will drop deep and sit back to counter, a pattern that has caused Rosenborg problems before when trying to break down a packed defence. But if the hosts score first, the game will turn into wave after wave of attack and Sandefjord will have to open up and trade blows, which could send the match in a completely different direction.
