Rosenborg Kvinner come into this one unbeaten in three, with draws at SK Brann Kvinner and home to Haugesund followed by a narrow away win at Kolbotn before the winter break. They have also scored in each of their last three league matches, which is useful for a home win case because they are not relying on a single clean sheet to get the job done. Hønefoss BK arrive on the back of a 3-1 home win over Molde, but their away league record is still thin, with one draw and no away goals scored in their first road outing.
The recent head-to-head record leans heavily toward Rosenborg Kvinner at home. They beat Hønefoss 8-0 in October 2025 and 3-0 in the cup in September, while the other league meeting in August ended 0-0. That mix matters for a home win angle: Rosenborg have already shown they can dominate this opponent at home, even if the 0-0 and their own recent 1-1 results suggest the margin is not guaranteed.
There is a small tension here in that Rosenborg have not kept a clean sheet in their last four league games, including the 1-1 at Brann and the 1-1 against Haugesund. Hønefoss have also found a way to score in several of their recent fixtures, and the xG projection of 2.3 to 1.1 points to a match where both sides can threaten. Even so, Rosenborg’s stronger home edge and the head-to-head control at this venue still point them toward the result.
That said, Hønefoss are not arriving empty-handed, having taken four points from their opening two league matches and winning 3-1 against Molde in their most recent outing. The away split is still the concern for them, though, because their league road record remains without a win and without a goal. Rosenborg’s home draw against Haugesund was steady rather than spectacular, but it still fits a side that can control enough of the game to take all three points.
My prediction is Home Win at 1/13. Rosenborg Kvinner have the stronger home head-to-head, including an 8-0 league win over Hønefoss in October 2025, and they are unbeaten in their last three league matches. Hønefoss have not won away in the league yet and have failed to score on the road so far, while Rosenborg’s home draw with Haugesund was enough to show they can protect this ground well.
