Molde FK vs Tromso IL - 10/07/2022
2935
Molde’s recent back-to-back draws have them three points off of the Eliteserien’s first-place team, Lillestrom, in the race for the Norwegian top flight title. On Sunday, Molde will host 11th-place Tromso as they go in search of three massive points.
Manager Erling Moe’s team is unbeaten in six straight matches. Despite the back-to-back draws, Molde have been in brilliant form in the Eliteserien. Tromso are also unbeaten in their last six games, but each of the last five matches finished as draws.
Tromso’s inability to turn draws into wins have them midtable in the Eliteserien. As it stands, Tromso are just two points off of the relegation place heading into round No. 14.
Molde hold a strong head-to-head record against Tromso with 4W-1D-1L in the last six matches in all competitions. The Blues outscored Tromso 16-8 across the last six meetings. There were 16 yellow cards and one red card handed out in the last six games between these teams.
Magnus Grodem and David Fofana are joint-leaders in goals for Molde. The pair has scored four goals apiece. Molde have struggled to score goals across their last 180 minutes of Eliteserien football. Just one goal was scored by the Blues in those two matches.
Fofana is just 19 and is an exciting young talent from the Ivory Coast. The teenager could start in the final third versus Tromso.
Tromso have not struggled to score in recent matches, but they have drawn five straight Eliteserien games. The Boys have scored 15 goals and conceded 18 times. Six Tromso players have tallied two goals this season in the league.
No. 9 Moses Ebiye is one of Tromso’s most dangerous players in the final third. He has scored nine goals in 31 matches since joining Tromso in 2021.
On Sunday, Tromso are playing the Eliteserien’s best defence. Molde have conceded just 12 times in 13 matches this season. The Blues kept just one clean sheet in their last six matches in the league, however.
Molde are unbeaten in four straight home matches. They are coming off of a 1-1 draw with Jerv last time out at the Aker Stadion.
Tromso have drawn their last four matches in the Eliteserien on the road. The Boys have a record of 0W-4D-1L on the road in 2022 with six goals scored and eight conceded.
Molde are on a two-match draw streak in the Eliteserien, while Tromso have drawn five consecutive matches in the Norwegian top flight. Sunday’s match at the Aker Stadion is destined for a stalemate with the score finishing 2-2.
