Insights:
  • Strømsgodset have the fewest matches over the total-line (8) in Eliteserien
  • Molde have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa League. That game was also an away game, at Qarabag. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
