Molde FK - Haugesund

Molde take on Haugesund in a match from Gameweek 16 in the Norway Eliteserien. The league leaders will definitely look for the three points on Sunday as their chasers Tromso and Brann are only three points away from them and every slip might be used by the chasers. The odds of 1.53 are not the best you can get on the market but the home win here looks like one of the weekend’s bankers.

Molde are leading the way in the league by only three points and they will go from strength to strength for all the points against Haugesund when the teams meet at Aker Stadion in Molde on Sunday evening. The hosts are on a run of four wins in the last five games in all competitions (4-0-1) so the spirit in their dressing room should be very high. Molde eased past Aalesund in the last game (5:2) and this means their home form now reads 5-1-1 in the seven games they have played at their own stadium. Moreover, they scored 14 and conceded four in the last four games there.

Haugesund are currently in 10th place in the league table but they are only six points away from 3rd placed Brann Bergen so they still have got every chance of a top half finish. The team won their last game in the championship against Odd Grenland 2:1 thanks to the winning strike of Bamberg. Head coach Grindhaug will again rely on Djrudjic and Sorum upfront as the duo have 12 goals between them. Haugesund have lost three of the last five games in the league (2-0-3) and they will need to pick up their form if they want to challenge for the top places. Moreover, their away form is far from convincing as they have lost six of the seven games played away from home (1-0-6).

Moreover, Molde won the last five meetings against them at home with the goal difference being 12-4.
