Start will be eager to end their poor run of form when they welcome Rosenborg in Round 14 of the Eliteserien. However, with Rosenborg showing signs of improvement, we predict a 3-2 away win. The hosts head into the match following consecutive defeats to Fredrikstad and Brann, having managed just one win from their last ten matches in all competitions. Defender Altin Ujkani returns from suspension, providing a welcome boost to a backline that has conceded an alarming 2.6 goals per game over the last ten outings. While Start have struggled overall, they have been noticeably more competitive at home, averaging 1.25 goals per game and collecting 1.25 points per match in front of their own supporters.
Rosenborg, meanwhile, travel to Kristiansand in high spirits after an emphatic 3-0 victory over Kristiansund. The Troillongan have no fresh injury concerns and will be looking to build momentum as they attempt to move further away from the relegation zone. Despite that convincing win, Rosenborg's away form remains a concern, with no victories in their last four league matches on the road and no goals scored during that stretch. However, history is firmly on the visitors' side, as they are unbeaten in all 17 previous meetings with Start, winning 13 of them. Given Start's defensive problems and Rosenborg's psychological advantage in this fixture, the visitors look well placed to claim another important victory.
Rosenborg enjoy playing against Start and arrive with renewed confidence after a 3-0 victory. Therefore, we are tempted to place our bets on Away Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (Start concede heavily, averaging 2.6 goals against per game, while seven of the last 17 meetings have produced at least four goals).
This Norway Eliteserien match will be played on Saturday 18 July 2026 at 15:00.
