Here's another interesting game in the Eliteserien. Molde is in the 5th position after participating in five fixtures. They receive Odd who are placed 9th after five fixtures.
- Odd have lost all their away matches so far.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Molde form and stats
Molde have played three Eliteserien home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. The Molde manager Moe might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
The Molde crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 3-4 to Viking here at Aker Stadion. Did Molde get overconfident in their match against Viking? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 3-0 lead to end up with a 3-4 defeat. Eikrem, who usually plays near the opponent's goal, was the best player for the side in that fixture, collecting a rating of 7.42 (out of 10). Eikrem scored one goal, hit one key pass and had 19 successful passes (of 22 total).
Molde are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found twelve matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won ten, drew one and lost one.
The Molde fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 5 goals in 3 league matches.
Odd form and stats
No Eliteserien points yet away for Odd, from their first 2 matches. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Odd are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Odd play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Sarpsborg 08 (placed 3rd). It is a concern for Odd that their goalkeeper Wahlstedt made eight saves in the Sarpsborg 08 fixture, but still could not rescue them from a beating. Goalkeeper Wahlstedt got the top player rating of the team with 8.24/10. Wahlstedt saved a penalty.
That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Viking.Odd have the goal stats of 0-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Molde six wins, three draws and Odd one victory. As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
