There’s also action from the Norwegian top flight on Sunday evening and our next preview features a clash between Eliteserien leaders Molde and 9th placed Ranheim as the betting tips continue at the Aker Stadion.
Molde Prediction- Can Molde maintain top spot?
The Eliteserien is headed by Sunday evening’s hosts in this clash, Molde, as they lead by virtue of a superior goal difference over 2nd placed Odd prior to Sunday’s action.
Despite recent defeats away from home at Kristiansund and last time out at Tromso, they now return to their Aker Stadion where they possess a 100% winning record.
An impressive home record of 5-0-0 16/2 has underlined Molde’s dominance on home turf so far this season, and they’ve also scored the most goals at home in the division to date too.
Wins over Stabaek 3-0, Valerenga 4-1, Rosenborg 3-0, Mjondalen 1-0 and Viking 5-1 have produced plenty of goals for the hosts this season.
Midfielder Eikrem (6 goals) and forward Omoijuanfo (9 goals) look the most likely to notch for the home side here as they look for a sixth straight win at home.
Revenge may also be in the air for Molde as their only defeat out of their last 15 home matches was a 3-2 loss to Ranheim last August.
Ranheim Prediction – Can Ranheim spoil Molde’s party?
Ranheim sit mid-table in the Norwegian top flight and although they sit in 9th place, the visitors will be in a more confident frame of mind having registered recent back-to-back wins.
Victories against third from bottom club Sarpsborg and 12th placed Stromsgodset set Ranheim on their way to face Molde with a chance to repeat their past heroics.
Ranheim are the only side to have inflicted defeat upon Molde in their own backyard out of the last 15 matches at Aker Stadion, but will face an in-form Molde outfit here.
The visitors have produced mixed results on the road so far this season as they’ve picked up wins at Brann and Sarpsborg but also lost at Lillestrom and Odd.
An away record of 2-1-2 5/4 underlines Ranheim’s inconsistent nature on their travels so far this season, but generally they’ve been poor on the road.
Ranheim have recorded just 3 away wins out of their last 15 matches on their travels and within this sequence, they’ve lost 10 of these last 15 as well.
Key-Facts – Molde v Ranheim
- Molde still possess a 100% winning record at home in the Eliteserien
- Molde are the highest goalscorers at home in the Eliteserien
- Ranheim have recorded just 3 away wins out of their last 15 matches on the road
Betting Tips Verdict
Molde have been in supreme form on home turf this season and they should also cover the asian line against Ranheim too.
