Rosenborg and Elfsborg both lost their opening two matches in Marbella, and they will both be looking to salvage some pride, with a win this evening. Bet365 make Rosenborg the favourites at 5/6, but there may be more value in siding with the Swedish side, who are available at 3/1, in what promises to be a close game.

It is always difficult to predict exactly what will happen in a friendly, particularly when neither side has any good form coming into the match, and tonight’s game could be fairly low-scoring, with both teams more interested in not losing, rather than going out to win the game.

Bet365’s price of 13/10 that the game contains two goals could be the way to go, and although it is never ideal to attempt to back a draw (13/5), a one-one correct score at 6/1, is a decent price, and could be the way to go for punters looking for longer odds.

Recommendation

Over/Under 2.5 Goals (13/10, Bet365)
