Rosenborg and Viking will battle for three points in an Eliteserien matchday 19 fixture on Sunday. The hosts are coming into the clash on the back of a 1-0 defeat away to KFUM Oslo.
Johannes Hummelvoll-Nunez scored the match-winner, with the 27-year-old converting from the rebound after he missed a 51st-minute penalty.
Viking, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at home to Bodo/Glimt. They missed the chance to take the lead when Zlatko Tripic missed a 36th-minute penalty and they went behind to Hakon Evjen's 59th-minute strike for the visitors. Edvin Austbo drew the game level in the 89th minute.
The draw left The Dark Blues in second spot, having garnered 33 points from 18 games. Rosenborg are 10th with 21 points to show for their efforts in 17 games.

Rosenborg vs Viking Prediction
Rosenborg would have been disappointed not to have gotten a point against KFUM Oslo despite having a one-man advantage for over half an hour. They will relish a return to home comforts, as they are unbeaten in their last four games in front of their fans, winning three.
Viking, for their part, missed the opportunity to close the gap on runaway leaders Bodo/Glimt last weekend. The draw means the Stavanger outfit remain eight points behind the defending champions, albeit with a game in hand.
Although one side could nick a win, we are backing the two sides to share the spoils in a high-scoring stalemate.
