Lillestrøm - Molde predictions

Though Lillestrøm definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. Molde are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

Molde will need to bring their top form if they want 3 points from this matchup – and they do. Lillestrøm are not easy pickings, although the visitors are widely seen as close favourites.

Lillestrøm’s previous Eliteserien engagement lacked excitement, but the final 2:1 away loss was still a bit of a surprise. Most betting predictions had them pegged as the favourites despite playing away, so the fact they tied in the first half was already bad news. Their opponents were the first to break the stalemate as the game progressed.

In the previous round of the Eliteserien, Molde played another away game against Viking. The bookies priced their victory at around 2.60, so the matchup was definitely not an easy one. The first half ended inconclusively, but a late-game decider by the home team ended the match 1:0.

Lillestrøm are on a bit of a streak when it comes to scoring. With more than 6 over their last 3 matches, fans are feeling fairly confident in their goal-scoring ability. Likewise, bookmakers online are fairly confident the Sunday match will yield Over 4.5 goals.

Molde have a record of uneventful away matches. Specifically, their previous 2 games as visitors featured 1 goal or less.

The first time they matched with Lillestrøm, Molde ended the match with a lead of more than two goals. They’re playing as the away team this time, but most bookies are pricing their victory at 2.31, which makes them the favourites.

We’re in for an exciting showdown – due to a complete lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams have their full lineups at their disposal. Because they are more likely to win, though, this should work out in the visitors’ advantage.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.62, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
