It's advantage Molde so far with their 2nd position in the Eliteserien table, welcoming Haugesund who are placed 8th.

Insights:
  • Molde is in the best form (5-1-0)
  • Molde have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Haugesund have scored away.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Europa League match only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Arsenal, was also a home game here at Aker Stadion. The away team is better rested.

This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Haugesund's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Haugesund have performed like this: Played 27 matches resulting in 11 wins, 6 draws and 10 defeats with the goal stats 40-38 (scored/conceded).

Haugesund are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
