A Eliteserien draw at home so far for Molde. Last season their home statistics were 12 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from 15 matches.

Molde lost their last game at Lillestrøm (placed 4th) after a 1-2 scoreline. Midfielder Breivik was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.61 (out of ten) in that game. Breivik scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, hit three key passes and had 41 successful passes (of 49 total).

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Rosenborg.
