Rosenborg and Valencia met twice in the UEFA Champions League group stage last season, and while both sides had different coaches in the two matches, the outcome was the same both times, with Rosenborg winning 0 in Trondheim and by the same scoreline at the Mestalla Stadium. Knut Tørum's Rosenborg beat a Valencia team coached by Quique Sánchez Flores now in charge of SL Benfica in the first fixture, Yssouf Koné and Vidar Riseth getting the goals. By the time they met in Spain, just a fortnight later, Trond Henriksen was in charge at Rosenborg and Ronald Koeman had replaced Sánchez Flores, but this time Steffen Iversen scored both goals in another 0 win for the Norwegian side. The teams for their meeting on October 00 in Trondheim were: Rosenborg: Lars Hirschfeld, Roar Strand (Fredrik Stoor, 86), Yssouf Koné (Øyvind Storflor, 80), Vidar Riseth, Steffen Iversen, Per Ciljan Skjelbred, Alexander Tettey, Abdou Razack Traoré, Bjørn Tore Kvarme, Marek Sapara, Mikael Dorsin. Valencia: Santiago Cañizares, Raúl Albiol, Carlos Marchena (Rubén Baraja, 6), David Albelda, Fernando Morientes, Jaime Gavilán (Nikola Žigić, 6), Iván Helguera, Joaquín, David Silva, Miguel (Miguel Ángel Angulo, 8), Emiliano Moretti. Those two defeats against Rosenborg represent Valencia's only experience of Norwegian opposition. In contrast Rosenborg have played 16 games against Spanish teams, winning five, drawing three and losing eight. Of their eight home games against Liga opponents they have won four, drawn one and lost three. For the two sides' third meeting in just over a year they will once more line up with different coaches. Swede Erik Hamrén is now in charge at Rosenborg while Valencia are led by Unai Emery. Hamrén has some experience of Spanish opposition. His Aalborg BK side lost 1 at home against Getafe CF in last season's UEFA Cup group stage, while back in 199, his AIK Solna outfit went down 1 at FC Barcelona and drew 11 at home in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup quarterfinals. Valencia's Pablo Hernández scored Getafe's first goal in that game against Hamrén's AaB. Last updated :1:9CET Match background 1
