Rosenborg vs Maribor
Rosenborg only needs a draw when entertaining Maribor in the second leg of the third round of the UCL qualification. The match was held at the Lerkendal Stadium.
The first game was held last Thursday (8/8) with a 1-3 victory for Rosenborg who drove through brace Alexander Soderlund and an additional goal from Mike Jensen. This result makes them only need to draw when appearing at tomorrow’s match.
However, the draw will damage Rosenborg’s home record which recently won 5 consecutive wins there, including 2 from UCL against Linfield and BATE Borisov. Most recently, they successfully frustrated Tromsoe with a score of 5-2 in the Norwegian League continued on match day 17 of the Norwegian League on Saturday (10/8) yesterday.
Meanwhile, Maribor will bring a minimalist record to Lerkendal after only winning two draws at the Rudar Velenje and Mura headquarters, and one defeat to AIK in the previous round. Apart from these bad trends, they have just been watching Tabor Sezana with a score of 4-2 in the Slovenian League continued held on Sunday (11/8) yesterday.
This will be Maribor’s first chance to perform at Lerkendal. Unfortunately, they will come with a minimalist capital which is certainly an opportunity for the host to win again. It is likely that Rosenborg will be back ahead with a landslide score after scoring 17 goals in just 5 home matches yesterday.
