17 - 6 - 8 with 91-39. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Brann when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Brann play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Molde form and stats
Molde are steadily winning Eliteserien games and points here at Aker Stadion. 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat is the summary from 6 games. Molde has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Aker Stadion. We remember; it was Stabæk.
Molde drew their last game, 2-2 away at Bodø / Glimt (placed 1st). The draw was a little fortunate as the game had an xG (expected goals) of 3.65 - 1.35. A disappointing finish for Molde in their match versus Bodø / Glimt as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score. Brynhildsen has scored in three games in a row. First-class! The striker Brynhildsen was announced as "man of the match" for Molde with the rating of 8.13/10. Brynhildsen scored two goals.
A home victory ahead of that game, as anticipated. The team were huge favourites against Strømsgodset and won 3-0. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Molde have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 5 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 0 and lost 2.
Goal party? We don't know about this one, but we do know that 9 of the 11 latest league games with this team has seen three goals or more.
