Venue: Aker Stadion (11249 seats)

Molde are stalking the top table spots while Tromsø are more nervous about staying out of trouble and relegation. Who will get the points?

Insights:
  • Molde is in the best form (4-2-0) in Eliteserien
  • Tromsø have yet to win a game away.

It's quite the trip for Tromsø when visiting Molde as the cities are 1300 kilometers apart.

Not a lot of time to rest for the host team, as they were involved in a Eliteserien fixture only four days back. Thankfully the previous game, versus Jerv, was also a home game here at Aker Stadion. The away team is better rested.

Molde form and stats

The story so far in the Eliteserien for Molde at their home stadium (Aker Stadion) is 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Molde, who played 1-1 against Jerv. That match was also played at this venue (Aker Stadion). A painful moment in the game against Jerv was the missed penalty kick from Mannsverk in the 35th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome. Midfield player Breivik got a match rating of 8.33 in that game, the max score being 10. Breivik served one assist, hit six key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 37 successful passes (of 42 total).

Preceding that game was the away draw at HamKam that finished 0-0.

On the other hand, Molde have conceded 9 goals.
