The Norwegian Eliteserien continues today with some interesting games, one of which is the match between Tromsø IL and Molde FK. For the hosts, this will be an attempt to get out of the relegation zone, in which they currently reside. Molde, on the other hand, is currently in the top 4 but will try to claim the 3rd spot with a win here.
Tromsø IL Team News
As it stands Tromsø IL is in the bottom 3, with just a point advantage over last-placed Sandefjord. The team is likely to mount an attempt to secure vital points at home as they could be pivotal in their battle to avoid relegation. And without a surprise, it is exactly at home games where Tromsø has managed to gather points. Three of their last 4 home games have resulted in victories and amount to 9 of the 10 points the team has mustered up so far. A broader look at the last 5 home games for the team will also reveal the presence of goals, as all of those games featured over 2.5.
Molde FK Team News
As a traditional team with high expectations, Molde will want to improve upon their performance prior to the league break. The fourth position is where the team currently resides, but third-placed Fredrikstad is just 1 point ahead. Brann and Bodo/Glimt are further up on the table, but the distance is more than manageable. So far this season, Molde has but one defeat out on the road and that came against last-placed Sandefjord. In their other away games, the team has performed rather well, managing 3 wins and a draw so far. All of Molde’s last 3 away league fixtures saw over 2.5 goals.
Head-to-Head-Games
Looking at the last 5 head-to-head games between these teams we will see 3 victories for Molde and 2 for Tromsø. Overall the former has more wins, but the latter has managed to win the last 2 fixtures. Three of the last 5 matches between Molde and Tromsø saw over 2.5 goals.
Tromsø IL – Molde FK Betting Prediction
Both teams will surely be looking for the points, albeit for totally different reasons. Tromsø IL has performed more than well as hosts in recent league games, while Molde FK has done well for themselves on away games. Head-to-head fixtures between the teams also suggest that goals are a common occurrence when these two play. For that reason, I will stick with over 2.5 goals in this match.
