Odd - Molde predictions

A home win is not something we would recommend betting on at the odds of 5.20 – but you’re probably aware of that already. It would take a miracle for Odd to pull off even a draw, let alone a win as underdogs.

Though we can’t say for certain, all signs are pointing towards Molde as the final winner of this showdown. Odd have been known to surprise us from time to time, though, so the match isn’t a done deal.

Odd are coming off from a harsh home defeat (4:0). Considering the difficult match-up against Tromsø and the home-field disadvantage, the result was entirely predictable, even after the draw at half-time.

Sportsbooks predicted things to go well for Molde in the previous round – they had a solid lead in a home game against Rosenborg. The second half caught them off guard, however, and they had to settle for a 2:2 draw in a home game.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

Maintaining their defences has been a bit of a struggle for Molde lately. They ended up conceding 5 goals over the 3 most recent matches alone, leaving many fans disappointed.

With an away win priced at 1.67, Molde are marked as the favourites in this matchup. However, it’s worth noting that they lost their previous engagement with Odd – one in which they were the home team.

With no injuries reported on either side of the pitch, both coaches have their full rosters at their disposal. As such, the odds remain firmly in the visitors’ favour.

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 1.67, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
