Strømsgodset - Molde predictions

Strømsgodset will likely try to secure a draw at most. They are outclassed by Molde, plain and simple, and most bookies online agree with this – after all, the betting odds on a home win for this match are 4.00.

Details can make a big difference in matches like this one. One way for Molde to reach their goal in this game is to stick firmly to their game plan and execute it flawlessly.

Strømsgodset will have been pleased with an away point they won in the previous round of the Eliteserien (HOME_LAST_ROUND_AWAY). They went against the odds(4.14) to take the first-half lead and surprise the opposing supporters. However, they ultimately failed to withstand the pressure and fell to a draw.

Molde are here after a striking performance against Tromsø last round. Playing in front of their fans on their home turf, they established dominance in the first 45 minutes and turned it into a convincing 2:0 win.

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.

Molde have yet to concede a goal over their 3 previous league matches. With that in mind, we would suggest staying away from Home Win or Both Teams to Score bets.

Molde won this matchup last season, leading most bookies to mark them as the favourites this Sunday. More importantly, it was a very convincing victory, and they likely won’t be satisfied with anything less than a 2-goal lead again.

Due to the absence of injuries or suspensions, both teams will have their complete lineups available for an exciting match.

Though some punters may prefer more exciting options, the Under 3.5 Goals market is a solid opportunity for this fixture. It offers a surprisingly solid balance between risk and betting value – though the returns on their own aren’t much to look at.
