Molde - Rosenborg predictions

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Rosenborg may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

From the current standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Molde and the 5.84 odds given to Rosenborg to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a stunning surprise.

It’s hard to say what went wrong for Molde against Sandefjord in the last round. They opened up with a solid performance and a lead at the half-time mark, only to completely drop the ball as the minutes kept ticking and suffer a 3:1 defeat in the end.

The 3:0 defeat Rosenborg recorded in the previous round was harsh, but entirely predictable. The home-field disadvantage and severely unfavourable matchup against Brann were too high of a hurdle for almost any team to overcome, and they spent most of the game’s runtime struggling to keep up.

Molde will be looking to extend their current streak. They’ve recently recorded more than 7 consecutive games in which they’ve scored at least once.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

We already saw these two teams clash this season, and Rosenborg carried off a narrow home win. The roles are reversed this time, however, and the betting odds are marking Molde as somewhat more likely to win.

This Saturday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
