Any one that follows my tips regularly will know that I am a fan of Rosenborg, I rate them highly as a team and so I was very disappointed with the way in which they started this season after winning the league last season and remaining undefeated all the way through.
They started this year very badly and I gave up putting any money on them because of it, but they have really turned a corner the past couple of months and are once again playing some great football especially at home.
They are currently 3rd in the league but have 2 games in hand over Valerenga in 2nd place and are just 2 points behind them.
They are 10 points off league leaders Molde but a game in hand so they could close the gap to 7 points.
Although it looks unlikely, Rosenborg will not give up and they will hope to put Molde under a bit of pressure, also European qualification is not a formality yet and so tonight, as indeed any home game is for the Norwegian giants, this is a must win game.
Looking at their home form of late you would fancy them to beat anyone in front of their home fans.
They have won their last 7 games in a row conceding 4 goals whilst scoring a massive 25!
Rosenborg beat Molde 3-1 here recently and have had other eye catching results of 3-1 over Tromso, and a 7-0 thumping of Odd Grenland.
Rosenborg's unity looks as good as it has been all season and they are a constant threat again going forward.
Swedish veteran Prica still leads the attack and he is the leagues top goalscorer at present who is aided massively through the quality Rosenborg midfield .
Their opponents tonight Aalesund have relied heavily on their home form keeping them away from the drop zone this season and away from home they have been terrible.
They have won just 2 of their 12 away games and have failed to record one in any of their last 7.
Molde put 5 past them not long ago and since that defeat they have played 5 games failing to score a single goal in 4 of them.
After being put out of the Europa League in August, Aalesund now lack a lot of motivation for the remaining games of this campaign.
They are out of the race for European Qualification and pretty much safe from relegation, this game will not interest them even half as much as it will the hosts.
The last time Rosenborg met a side that I thought lacked motivation I predicted an easy win for the hosts and they delivered winning 4-1.
Tonight I see a lot of value in Rosenborg to Score in Both halves at 1.8 with Paddy Power.
They are as low as 1.2 with the same firm to win this game outright so they are clearly convinced as I am that it should be an easy win for the home side.
That's a big jump up in odds to 1.8 just for the goal in each half, take this bet and it wont matter if Rosenborg concede a silly goal as long as they continue their impressive goal scoring ways which I am confident they will.
