It's game one of two in the Europa Conference League as Molde host Wolfsberger AC. This is a Play-offs fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.
It's quite the trip for Wolfsberger AC when visiting Molde as the cities are 2400 kilometers apart.
Wolfsberger AC could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Tipico Bundesliga game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Salzburg. 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.
Molde form and stats
Molde have reached this Europa Conference League stage through battling and winning against Elfsborg and Varda SE. Molde was eliminated in the 3rd qualifying round last season in the Europa Conference League.The home supporters can't complain about results here at Aker Stadion as Molde have scored 23 goals to get 22 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the Eliteserien are 7-1-2 (wins-draws-losses). This match is a Europa Conference League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 3 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss in this competition.
