Rosenborg vs Cork City Prediction & Betting tips
The Norwegian side leaves as a favorite due to the collective and offensive potential that it possesses, which usually increases a lot when it acts in its stadium. For that reason and even when the series is practically sentenced with the 0-2 of the first leg, we believe that his simple win is an attractive option to bet. Remember that the difference in level between one team and another is abysmal, and can be noticed from the initial stage. In the end, we believe that the “Nordics” can score so they do not accelerate and play calmly.
Rosenborg:
After winning in Ireland, the classification of the Norwegians is practically sentenced. However, you should not trust yourself because you could be surprised and complicate your quota to the next stage of the competition. Of course, the difference in level between one team and another is tremendous, as it was seen in the first leg. Now it is expected that the “Nordics” handle the ball, generate chances and specify one from the initial stage. It will be a clash of styles, since the venue is dynamic and vertical while the visit is combative and direct because it can not be elaborated. For this game the Dutch coach Coolen is expected to maintain the 4-3-3 system that he usually uses on a regular basis. The most striking of its system is that it uses two men of mixed brand, leaving loose to a hitch whose mission is to feed the 3 forwards that are in court.
Continuing with the analysis you should know that Rosenborg has played many home games for his domestic league, obtaining the following results in these matches: 5 wins, 3 equalities and 1 single drop, reaching 19 goals and conceding 7 on his fence. Their last home appearance was last Sunday and ended in a parity against Stabaek (1-1 after equalizing 0-0 until the 7th minute of the second half when the visit scored the 0-1). For the Champions League, beat Icelandic Valur 3-1 and drew 0-0 against Celtic. This will be their first home match for the Europa League’s preliminary phase.
Cork City:
The present of the Irish in the Europa League is not very good to say after losing 0-2 at home. Their objective is not to receive a win and fight for the classification until the end. Of course, their level for this type of competition is quite limited, and this can be noticed in their friendlies in preparation and in the Champions League (previous phase). Defeated 1-4 against Portsmouth on July 2 and dropped 0-1 to Burnley on July 13. Then came the key against Legia Warsaw, which was totally unfavorable to their interests (Polish victories 0-2 visit and 3-0 at home). If we analyze these results, we can conclude that Cork City always yields goals against higher quality rivals, getting a lot more complicated when preparing and scoring. Of course, those led by Professor Caulfield use a 4-3-3 that serves them for the local league but not for the international context.
An important detail to know is that the Irish are the leaders of their domestic tournament, which dominate with 66 units in total (2 difference with the Dundalk escort that has 2 games to play). They have added 21 wins, 3 equalities and 4 total falls, scoring 56 goals and conceding 18 on their fence. On tour, he won 9 games, tied another 2 and lost the remaining 4 that he played in this condition (28 goals scored and 15 received in his goal). The last official game of the team was last Sunday and the result was positive for Cork City (victory 1-5 against Home Farm for the 16th final of the Irish Cup).
The only confrontation that these teams have had occurred last Thursday and the result was favorable for the Norwegians by a clear 0-2. That victory was built from the initial stage with the goals scored by Levi at 22 ‘and at 44’ of the first half. In terms of possession, Cork City had more ball but did not know what to do with it (54% vs 46%). In auctions they were even and corners, the Irish if they got many throughout the 90 ‘minutes of play (11-1, of which 4 were in the first half).
