Rosenborg takes on Ukrainean side Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in Norway, with both teams looking to get ahead in what looks like a very evenly matched Europa League group G. After the first matchday, all 4 teams (including Lazio and Saint Etienne) have a single point to show for, with both games finishing undecided.
Rosenborg was ahead 2-1 at Saint Etienne in the first game of the group, but eventually had to settle for a 2-2 draw – a very good result nonetheless. Rosenborg is having a terrific season and had a series of 12 consecutive wins until it became clear that they can`t lose the title – which they will most likely book next weekend. They proved their worth in Europe as well, knocking out Romanian champions Steaua Bucharest 3-1 aggregate and challenging Saint Etienne in France two weeks ago.

Dnipro also got a draw result in the first round, 1-1 at home to Lazio and might be content with a similar outcome in Norway, given Rosenborg’s fine form and solid home record. The visitors lost star midfielder Konoplyanka this summer, but are still on track for another 3rd place finish in Ukraine and are in decent form with two consecutive wins – albeit not in very convincing fashion.
This is a simple pick, I believe the draw is the most likely result, despite having the highest odds on the 1×2 market. I wouldn`t have priced it over 3.00, but we get odds as high as 3.30. Both sides are very well organized, disciplined and hard working, the game is evenly matched and nobody can afford to lose in this tough group – the perfect ingredients for a tied result. Neither team seem to have valid arguments to expect a victory.
Both teams care a lot for the Europa League and will treat this encounter with full focus. My tip on the match is the draw, well worth a shot with small-medium stakes as far as I`m concerned. Prediction: Rosenborg – Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk 1-1.
