The Bodø / Glimt & Molde managers K. Knutsen and E. Moe are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Eliteserien league table.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Molde, who are travelling more than 900 kilometers to play this game.
