Lillestrom vs Rosenborg Prediction 9 August 2026
🔊 There's still a long way to go in the championship, but matches like this can well influence the distribution of places in the upper part of the table. Lillestrøm are back home after a heavy defeat to Bodø/Glimt and will clearly look to show a very different kind of football. Rosenborg are also coming into this in less than ideal spirits. Last round ended in a frustrating defeat deep into added time, so the visitors have little reason to play cautiously.
Head-to-Head
The last official match between the teams took place on 10 May 2026 and ended 2:0. Here is the comparative statistics from that match (home side - Rosenborg):
- possession: 51% vs 49%;
- corners: 1 vs 4;
- fouls: 9 vs 15;
- yellow cards: 2 vs 2;
- shots on target: 4 vs 3.
📊 In the first leg of the current season, Rosenborg were stronger at home (2:0). The goals were scored by Simen Nordli and Amin Sheikhа. Looking at the last five head-to-head meetings, neither side has a clear advantage: both teams have won two each, with one match ending in a draw. There is another pattern worth noting - in seven of the last ten matches between these sides, at least three goals were scored.
Head-to-head statistics Lillestrom - Rosenborg
Lillestrom Team Overview
The team's last official match was played on in the Eliteserien (home side - Bodø/Glimt, away side - Lillestrøm). The match ended 4-0.
Match statistics (Lillestrøm vs Bodø/Glimt):
- possession: 42% vs 58%;
- corner kicks: 2 vs 10;
- fouls: 16 vs 11;
- yellow cards: 2 vs 0;
- shots on target: 1 vs 7.
Conceding four goals without reply against Bodø/Glimt must have hurt the squad's pride. That said, their league position remains workable - Lillestrøm are still close to the European places. It is now especially important to respond quickly to the setback, particularly with a home match coming up. Most of the attacking play still runs through Thomas Lehne Olsen. In midfield, a lot depends on Yildrene Ibrahimaj and Marcus Karlsbakke, while Ruben Gabrielsen organizes the defence. The only confirmed absence is Erik Kitolano, who will miss the match through injury.

Rosenborg Team Overview
The current away side's last official match took place in the Eliteserien (home side - Brann, away side - Rosenborg). The match ended 3:2.
The match stats were as follows (Rosenborg vs Brann):
- possession: 48% vs 52%;
- corners: 12 vs 5;
- fouls: 9 vs 10;
- yellow cards: 3 vs 3;
- shots on target: 7 vs 5.
The visitors have had an inconsistent season. Their last match only confirmed that: Rosenborg managed to score twice against Brann but still lost (2:3), conceding the decisive goal after the ninetieth minute. That said, the team's attacking potential hasn't gone anywhere. Iver Fossum comes into the match after scoring in the previous round, Simen Nordli remains one of the most dangerous players on the flank, and Amin Sheikhа regularly contributes up front. The only absentee is Dino Islamovic, who continues to recover from injury.

⭐️ Editor's Pick
It's hard to imagine the hosts will go back to cautious football after a (0:4) defeat. In front of their own fans, Lillestrøm need to respond, and Rosenborg rarely abandon their attacking play even away from home. It looks like this match will again produce plenty of chances. The statistics only reinforce that impression. Over 2.5 has landed in 15 of Lillestrøm's last 16 home matches, and in the Eliteserien specifically - in five consecutive home games. Rosenborg have a similar run: over 2.5 has come in in their last five league matches. That's why a bet on total over 2.5 looks the most justified option here.
