    Molde and Hibernian set for another close encounter

    On Wednesday night, Molde and Hibernian go head-to-head in the third qualifying round second leg of the Europa League.

    The first leg was a tight affair that ended goalless in Edinburgh. The second leg is expected to produce a similarly tight encounter.

    Molde have a mixed recent record in the Europa League in recent seasons. However, the Norwegian side are now four games unbeaten in the competition, having won three and drawn one of their games.

    The home side has been pretty solid in defence in recent seasons, as they have kept clean sheets in four of their last six outings in the Europa League.

    Molde have a very strong recent record on home soil in the Europa League , winning five of their last seven home matches in the competition. The Norwegian team have been solid in defence of late at home in the Europa League too, conceding just once in their last three home games.

    Hibernian heads into this game five games unbeaten in the Europa League, having recorded three wins and two draws. However, Hibs have found wins hard to come by in Europe’s secondary competition of late, as the Scottish side has won just three of their last 13 outings in the competition.

    There are usually goals in Hibs games in the Europa League , as both teams have scored in four of their last five outings. The first leg ended a run of four games where both teams had scored in the visitor's European games.

    The visitors have a poor record on their travels in the Europa League, winning just two of their seven away games in the competition, suffering four defeats in the process. However, they have managed to negotiate their two away games in this season’s competition without defeat.

    Forebet predicts that this game will produce another low scoring draw, with the game settled in extra-time or on penalty kicks.
