Molde vs Stromsgodset Predictions

• Molde are unbeaten in 11 Norwegian Eliteserien games.
• Stromsgodset, meanwhile, have only scored once in their last three matches, and each of their last four have contained under 3.5 goals.
• Only Lillestrom (14) have conceded fewer than the 15 Eliterserien goals shipped by Molde in 2022.

Molde look to continue title charge

Molde’s bid for a first Norwegian top-flight title since 2019 has gathered pace with an 11-match unbeaten league run, during which Erling Moe’s men have posted nine wins, including victories in each of their last three. While Stromsgodset – currently sitting sixth in the table – will be no pushovers on Sunday, there’s every reason to think the hosts’ march will continue.

Indeed, the hosts have also won five of their last six home contests, winning six of their nine games on their own turf this year. Their title charge has been built on a strong defensive record; only Lillestrom (14) have conceded fewer than their 15 goals in 2022, and a visiting team with a poor attacking record may struggle to breach their rearguard.

Stromsgodset did not struggle in front of goal throughout a six-game unbeaten run in May, but they have scored just once in their last three matches despite enjoying the majority of the possession in each, failing to win any of those encounters. They’ve managed just two wins and seven goals in seven road trips, and look set to continue to struggle at the sharp end of the pitch here.

Solid hosts can claim victory

Given Molde’s strong defensive record and Stromsgodset’s barren run, backing the hosts to win a match containing under 3.5 goals looks a good way for punters to ensure value and keep multiple scorelines in play.

Molde, meanwhile, have won seven of the teams’ last eight head-to-head meetings, keeping clean sheets in five, and can strengthen that record with a 2-0 success.
