Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Herd & Molde face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the NM Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Eliteserien game only two days ago. That game was also an away game, at Aalesund. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Herd form and stats
Last season, Herd's NM Cup journey ended in the 1st round.The Herd regulars got no joy from their last match, a NM Cup duel also played here at AMFI Moa Stadion: A 0-3 defeat against Hødd.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Træff that finished 0-0.Molde form and stats
Molde's mission in NM Cup last season failed in the 3rd round.The seven points Molde have gathered from their first three away trips in the Eliteserien is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues.
It's the second away game in a row for Molde, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Aalesund last time out. Eikrem has scored for the away side three fixtures in a row. The competence! Defender Hansen was the best team player with a rating of 8.04. Hansen hit one key pass and won 8 of 11 duels.
Before that, Molde secured a home win against Odd with the score 3-0.After this away game Molde return home for a Eliteserien game against Kristiansund. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Molde are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far. Molde are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 1 away goal have been conceded so far.
