Rosenborg vs PSV Prediction & Betting tips
PSV will visit Rosenborg in Norway on Thursday. With a win in Trondheim, PSV does very good business for European wintering, while Rosenborg sees her chances diminishing.
Rosenborg:
Rosenborg is the absolute superpower of Norway. Between 1992 and 2004, the team from Trondheim became Norwegian champion no less than thirteen times in a row and also between 2015 and 2018, Rosenborg was the best club in the country four times in a row. In 2019 (the Norwegian seasons follow the calendar year) the team threatens to be dethroned. After 23 games, Norway is in fourth place with only 40 points, no less than 12 less than leader Molde FK. The chance that this backlog will be made up in the next seven games is nil.
Rosenborg reached the group stage of the Europa League via the play-offs for the Champions League. After having dealt with Linfield in Northern Ireland and BATE Borisov in Belarus, Dinamo Zagreb was too strong for the team of coach Eirik Horneland in the final round for the champion ball.
In the Europa League, the first game was lost against the Austrian LASK Linz. Two weeks ago, Rosenborg went down in Austria by a hit from former AZ player James Holland.
Rosenborg’s selection consists for a large part of Norwegians, of which former AZ and ADO striker Bjorn Johnsen is the best known. One of the rare foreigners is the Nigerian Samuel Adegbenro. Two years ago, he scored three times against Ajax in two Europa League play-offs, so that Ajax did not play European that season.
PSV:
PSV has been running extremely well in recent weeks. The Eindhoven players are at the top of the Eredivisie with 20 points from 8 matches, and Mark van Bommel’s team has also found their way in Europe.
After the failure against FC Basel in the first qualifying round of the Champions League in July, the Europa League was the highest attainable for PSV. Via Haugesund (this season mid-engine in Norway) and the Cypriot Apollon Limassol, PSV qualified for the group stage of the Europa League, in which it also had a good start. Two weeks ago Sporting Lissabon in Eindhoven was beaten 3-2. The Eindhoven hits came in the name of Donyell Malen, Sebastian Coates (own goal) and Timo Baumgartl.
Van Bommel has a luxury problem, especially in midfield and it is therefore questionable which names he will send in against Wheyborg. Erick Gutierrez is back after his hand surgery while Gaston Pereiro is also on the way back. Pablo Rosario is sure of his place as the captain and Van Bommel can hardly ignore Mohamed Ihattaren. Apart from Gutierrez, Jorrit Hendrix and Ritsu Doan are also eligible for the remaining spot in midfield
