Odds BK come into the match on the back of a 0-0 draw at home against KFUM in a friendly match but their most recent competitive game ended in a 2-1 victory at HamKam in the Eliteserien.
Odds BK were 2-0 up after 28 minutes and despite conceding a goal early in the second half, held out against ten men to claim the win.
That result means Odds BK are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 matches in all competitions. They have recorded wins at Jerv and HamKam in the Eliteserien plus a comfortable 6-1 win at Hei in the NM Cupen.
However, wins have not been easy to come by in the league and Odds BK have won only 2 of their 7 most recent Eliteserien matches, losing the other 5 games.
Odds BK are on a losing streak of 3 straight home matches in the Eliteserien and they have been conceding plenty of goals when playing on home soil. Odds BK have conceded 9 goals across their last 4 home fixtures in the league.
Molde FK make the trip to the Skagerak Arena having previously beat AIK 2-1 at home in a friendly match. Their most recent competitive fixture came in the Eliteserien was against Bodø / Glimt at home and Molde FK won the game 3-1.
Having opened the scoring in the 4th minute, Molde FK doubled their advantage 15 minutes into the second half. Bodø / Glimt pulled one back shortly after but Molde FK made sure of the points with a third goal.
That result means Molde FK are on a run of 5 straight victories in the Eliteserien. There have been wins at home over Odds BK, Kristiansund, and Bodø / Glimt plus away against Aalesund and Sarpsborg 08.
Away form in the league shows Molde FK are undefeated in their last 6 matches, winning 5 of those games. Trends show Molde FK have not lost any of their last 8 matches against Odds BK in the Eliteserien.
Team news and Odds BK do not have any injury or suspension concerns for this match. Milan Jevtović is their top scorer in the league and he has 4 goals to his name this season.
Molde FK have a significant injury list, with Rafik Zekhnini, Ola Brynhildsen, Eirik Ulland Andersen, Martin Ellingsen, Björn Sigurdarson, and Kristoffer Haraldseid all on the treatment table.
Molde FK have hit good form and they will be feeling confident of scoring enough goals in this game to take maximum points.
Odds BK will make life difficult for the visitors and could find the back of the net themselves but we expect Molde to score 2 or more goals on their way to victory.
