Molde - Sarpsborg 08 predictions

If you’re looking for a relatively safe result bet, a home win at odds of 1.59 is a solid option. That said, Sarpsborg 08 may yet be able to pull off a surprise, maybe even in the form of a stalemate.

The current perspective makes the situation clear. Given the superiority of Molde and the fact that Sarpsborg 08 are given 5.13 odds to win, it is easy to conclude that anything but a home win would be an unexpected shock.

The hosts are coming off of a decisive 0:4 away win in their most recent Eliteserien match. Most bookmakers online saw them winning as the most likely outcome, but the fact they kept ahead for most of the game and recorded a convincing result is still reassuring to their supporters.

Last round must have been uncomfortable for Sarpsborg 08’s players. All the cards seemed to be stacked in their favour – a home-field advantage against HamKam who were widely considered the weaker team going in. The final result was a shocking 1:7 defeat, however, as Sarpsborg 08 never managed to take control of the pitch.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Sarpsborg 08’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

We would be very surprised if this matchup ended in an upset. Sarpsborg 08 lost quite badly the first time these two squads played against each other this season, and the odds are it will end similarly this time.

With no injuries or suspensions to deal with, both teams will be able to give their all this Monday.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.47, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
