International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Molde and Häcken are looking forward to this Europa League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.

4-5-2 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Häcken when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those eleven matches are 19-15 (scored/conceded).

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Allsvenskan game only four days ago.

Molde form and stats

26 points is a decent return from 12 Eliteserien games here at Aker Stadion for Molde. The data says 8 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses.

Molde faced defeat in their previous match, away at Brann (2-3). Hagelskjær was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.64 out of 10. The defender Hagelskjær hit one key pass and won 10 of 12 duels.

Preceding that match was the home Eliteserien game against Bodø / Glimt that was lost 1-3.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Molde, as the Eliteserien home game vs Tromsø is only four days away.

Molde are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Aker Stadion in their league games, having scored an impressive 31 goals in 12 matches. Molde have only conceded 11 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Häcken form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Allsvenskan travels is 4 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats.

The followers enjoyed Häcken's previous fixture versus Norrköping, a 4-1 win played at home. Sonko certainly enjoyed Häcken's last game versus Norrköping, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 4-1 victory. The attacker Sonko got a match rating of 9.35 in that game. Sonko scored three goals, served one assist, hit one key pass and had 19 successful passes (of 23 total).

A 2-2 draw at Hammarby's stadium before that.

The schedule is very tough for Häcken now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Allsvenskan game at Mjallby is waiting in only three days.

Häcken have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 13 league away games 18 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Häcken have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
