It's the very first fixture of the new season for Tromsø and Molde. The sheet is blank, the possibilities unlimited.
Molde have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Results from training matches should always be treated with caution, but the takeaways from these six matches are 2 victories, 2 draws and 2 losses. In these games, Tromsø have scored {8 goals} and conceded 9 times.
Molde form and stats
Last season was a triumph for Molde in the national league as they took home the Eliteserien trophy. The championship was secured after 25 wins, 3 draws and only 2 defeats. As this is an away game, it's natural to look at the stats for away matches last season: Won 13, drew 2 and lost 0.
It's a day of discovery for Molde as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Molde have played nine with the results W5-D1-L3 (win-draw-lost). In these games Molde has scored {25 goals} and conceded 13 times.
