Berisha boosts Vikings attack for RBK clash

Expect a high-scoring affair when Rosenborg tackle Viking in Stavanger with both sides suffering from defensive frailties and the hosts able to welcome back star man Veton Berisha. A Berisha-less Viking fell in a heap at Haugesund last weekend, going down 4-2 with skipper Kristoffer Løkberg sent off after just 12 minutes.

The central midfielder will miss Sunday’s visit of Troillongan, who stayed on the road following their midweek cup match at Sandnes Ulf because of flight difficulties. But the return of eight-goal Berisha should give the Stavanger side a much-needed boost after a five-game winless run that has seen them go pointless through their last three fixtures.

Rosenborg’s defence wasn’t quite up to landing win to nil backers their bets last weekend in a 3-1 home victory over rock bottom Kristiansund. And that’s now where the main focus of coach Kjetil Rekdal’s work must be.

Rosenborg can’t seem to stem flow of opponents’ goals

RBK have shipped too many easy goals this season and were undone by three set-piece goals the week before in a 3-1 loss to leaders Lillestrom.

Ole Sæter responded to his first-half benching the week before with a hat-trick against KBK and, with leading scorer Stefano Vecchia pushing for a return, Rosenborg can be trusted to convert enough of what they create to get on the scoreboard here.

Hence, we’ll accept the shortish price on over 2.5 goals in the game at SR-Bank Arena this Sunday. At least three goals have been scored in three of Viking’s last five home league matches and in three of Rosenborg’s last four away league contests too.

A 2-1 home win appeals most in correct score betting as RBK concede too many road goals to suggest they can resist Viking here.
