Competition: Sun 03.Sep
Match begins: 15:00 (UTC)
Venue: Haugesund Stadion (8754 seats)

Haugesund played 0-0 result facing Sandefjord in their previous week, a match to keep in mind. Next up is this bright Molde side.

Insights:
  • Haugesund have the most dropped points from leading position (16) in Eliteserien
  • Molde have scored more than double the goals of Haugesund.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Molde have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 13-2-5 (win-draw-loss) from 20 matches.

Haugesund and Molde should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
