Saturday night also brings us action from the Norwegian top flight and our next fixture features a clash between Stromsgodset and Molde as the betting tips continue at the Marienlyst Stadion.
Stromsgodset Prediction- Can Stromsgodset lift themselves out of bottom two?
As the sub-heading suggests, Stromsgodset currently sit second from bottom in the Norwegian Eliteserien and in the relegation zone prior to Saturday night’s clash.
The hosts have lost 3 of their last 4 matches overall in the Norwegian top flight which were defeats to Valerenga, Ranheim and Bodo/Glimt.
However, it should be noted that these last 3 defeats were all handed to Stromsgodset on their travels away from home.
Stromsgodset have managed just 1 win out of their last 10 matches overall which was a 3-1 home win against Tromso at their Marienlyst Stadion.
The home side have recorded just 2 wins all season to date in this season’s Eliteserien but these were both captured on home turf amidst a record of 2-1-2 10/9.
Whilst the prospects of a home win seem unlikely, the goals have continued to flow at the Marienlyst Stadion where Stromsgodset have been concerned.
4 of Stromsgodset’s 5 home matches have seen both teams score.
Molde Prediction – Can Molde extend lead at top?
Molde sit top of the Norwegian top flight with a 3-point cushion ahead of 2nd placed Odd ahead of their Saturday night clash away at Stromsgodset.
Recent results have produced a mixed return for Molde as they’ve collected wins against Mjondalen, Viking and Ranheim, but have also been handed 2 defeats too.
Losses away at 5th placed Kristiansund 3-2 and a 2-1 defeat at third from bottom club, Tromso, show Molde’s possible vulnerability on the road.
Indeed, an overall away record of 2-1-3 10/10 is a far from convincing return on the road from the visitors who will undoubtedly need to improve these results if they’re to hold onto top spot.
Molde started off with a 1-1 draw at Sarpsborg but losses at Bodo/Glimt, Kristiansund and Tromso have offset their wins at Lillestrom and Haugesund.
5 of Molde’s last 6 away matches have also resulted in both teams scoring so far this season while 12 of their last 15 matches on the road have seen both teams hit the back of the net.
Key-Facts – Stromsgodset v Molde
- 4 of Stromsgodset’s 5 home matches have seen both teams score
