Rosenborg Match Betting News
Rosenborg claimed the Norwegian Tippeligaen last season for the first time in five years and the Troillongan now have the opportunity to compete for a place in the Champions League during the upcoming campaign.
Rosenborg managed to claim a narrow victory over Norrkoping in the previous round and Kåre Ingebrigtsen’s men have now been handed a clash against Cypriot outfit Apoel Nicosia in the third round of the qualification stage.
Apoel have gained a lot of experience in Europe over the past few seasons and one can be sure that Rosenborg will need to put in their best performance in order to stand a chance of claiming victory on the night.
Apoel Nicosia Match Betting News
Apoel Nicosia were crowned the Cypriot First Division champions for the fourth consecutive time last season and the Τhrylos will once again be hopeful of making it into the group stages of the Champions League.
Thomas Christiansen has replaced Temur Ketsbaia as manager this summer and the Dane will surely be looking to make a good impression among the GSP Stadium faithful.
As a result, Christiansen will surely have his eyes set on guiding APOEL into the Champions League and the third round qualification clash against Rosenborg in midweek should prove to be a real test for the Cypriot side.
Rosenborg vs Apoel Nicosia Match Prediction
Rosenborg and Apoel Nicosia seem to be very well matched in most areas of the pitch and the match should prove to be a very tight affair.
The Norwegian side perhaps have the slight advantage in terms of match fitness as they are already 17 games into their season while the Cypriot First Division is yet to commence and as a result, the home side should just about claim the victory on the night.
