Molde and Shamrock Rovers get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Europa Conference League Group Stage fixture.

Molde's stadium, Aker Stadion, has a artifical turf surface. Shamrock Rovers have grass on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Shamrock Rovers when playing on artifical turf; 0 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses from five matches. They have scored 2 goals in these games and conceded 7.

It's quite the trip for Shamrock Rovers when visiting Molde as the cities are 2800 kilometers apart.

This has all the signs of an engrossing game with lots of action and bustle as both sides are well revitalized since they last ran out on the pitch. Let's start!

Molde form and stats

Last season their Europa Conference League adventure ended in the 3rd qualifying round.

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Aker Stadion as Molde have scored 30 goals to get 28 points from 12 games. The overall stats in the Eliteserien are 9-1-2 (wins-draws-losses). On the other hand, in the Europa Conference League, Molde has performed like this (both home and away): 4 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses.

Molde are confident in defense, having played 184 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

A good away victory last time out for Molde, who won 1-0 against Tromsø. Breivik was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.1 out of 10. The defender Breivik hit one key pass and won 3 of 3 duels.

Ahead of that match, Molde won a home game hosting Aalesund (3-0).

The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Molde home games with this odds we find 17 games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in 14 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. Looking at the victories, 10 matches were won by at least two goals.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Molde as they have a new game in only three days, a Eliteserien match thankfully also at home. HamKam are visiting.

The Molde manager Moe has got the team scoring with 30 from 12 home games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Molde have only conceded 11 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
