5190
The Norwegian Eliteserien continues this weekend and the final match to be played in this round of fixtures is between Molde FK and Odd BK at the Aker Stadion. The hosts begin the weekend sitting top of the table on 26 points while the visitors are in 7th place on 16 points.
Molde FK come into the game on the back of a 1-0 defeat at Sarpsborg 08 last weekend. It was only their second defeat of the season, Molde FK fell behind in the 74th minute of the game and could not score the equaliser in the time remaining. With Sarpsborg 08 currently down in 11th place, it was a shock defeat.
Prior to that loss, Molde FK had won 5 straight matches in the Eliteserien. Three of those victories came at home, two of which were convincing wins as Molde FK defeated Sarpsborg 08 4-1, Stabæk 2-1, and Strømsgodset 3-0. Trends show Molde FK are difficult to beat and there are no losses for the team in 20 of their most recent 23 games in the league.
Molde FK are on a run of 3 consecutive home wins in the Eliteserien and have lost only one of their last 12 league matches on home soil, scoring 2 more goals in each of those 12 games at the Aker Stadion.
Odd BK come into the match having picked up a point last weekend thanks to a 2-2 draw at home against Rosenborg. Odd BK were forced to come from behind on two occasions as they conceded goals in both halves of the match but netted the equaliser in the 89th minute.
That result means Odd BK have been difficult to beat in recent games and they are undefeated in each of their last 5 Eliteserien fixtures. Three of those 5 matches have been away from home and Odd BK defeated Mjøndalen and Brann plus took a point from Vålerenga in a 1-1 draw.
Trends show Odd BK have scored 2 or more goals in their 4 most recent Eliteserien matches, including each of their last two on the road. However, Odd BK are on a poor run of 10 away Eliteserien games in which they have allowed at least 1 goal, meaning they need to improve defensively if they are going to move up the table.
Looking ahead to the team news and Molde FK continue without four injured players. Björn Sigurdarson, Fredrik Sjølstad, Martin Ellingsen, and Kristoffer Haraldseid are all expected to be out until at least next week.
Odd BK travel without Mushaga Bakenga as the forward is suspended and that will come as a big blow to the visitors. Steffen Hagen is unavailable due to a toe injury.
Odd BK have been conceding goals away from home and they come up against a team who love finding the back of the net on their own turf.
Therefore, we should see over 3.5 goals in this match, with Molde FK scoring the bulk of them and taking 3 points.
