Sunday brings us action from the Norwegian top flight and our next preview features another top of the table clash between league leaders Molde and 4th placed Brann in the Eliteserien as the betting tips continue at the Aker Stadion.
Molde Prediction- Can Molde extend lead at top?
Molde continued their return to form last time out in the Norwegian top flight when they romped to a 4-0 win away at bottom club Stromsgodset.
This convincing win followed on from their previous 2-0 home win over Ranheim which has handed the hosts 7 wins out of their last 9 matches in the Eliteserien.
Although Molde have suffered recent setbacks away at Kristiansund and Tromso, losing 3-2 and 2-1 respectively, they’ve retained their dominance at home.
On home turf at their Aker Stadion, Molde not only remain unbeaten but they still possess a 100% winning record in their own backyard.
An impressive home record which stands at 6-0-0 18/2 includes no fewer than 4 clean sheets to date which will please manager Erling Moe.
In addition, Molde have also produced free-scoring displays at home which have seen the hosts score 2 goals or more in 5 of their 6 home matches to date.
With the likes of midfielder Eikrem (7 goals) along with forward pair, Omoijuanfo (9 goals) and James (4 goals), the hosts look set for further goals this evening.
Brann Prediction – Can Brann spoil Molde’s 100% record?
Although Brann sit in a creditable 4th place on the Norwegian top flight league ladder, they’ll have their work cut out to get anything out of Molde here.
The visitors have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 6 matches which was a 1-0 reverse at home to Rosenborg.
However, recent wins against Stabaek, Sarpsborg, Bodo/Glimt and Lillestrom will give them confidence that they may be able to upset Molde in this clash.
After a bad start to results away from home which saw Brann suffer back-to-back defeats at Odd and Viking, the visitors have turned things around.
Brann bring a 4-match unbeaten sequence away from home into this encounter which includes wins at Tromso, Stabaek and Bodo/Glimt.
It’s one thing to grab wins against the aforementioned clubs and another when facing a dominant Molde outfit in their own backyard though.
Brann’s last 6 visits to the Aker Stadion have all ended in defeat, and they’ll do well to avoid a seventh loss on the bounce to their hosts tonight.
