Tromso vs Molde Predictions

Both of these sides progressed into the next round of the NM Cupen in midweek, but Tromso played a day earlier than Molde and will be hoping the extra time to rest and recuperate goes in their favour on Sunday. The two sides are separated in the Eliteserien table by eighteen points, despite Molde only playing ten games and Tromso nine so far this season.

Antonsen handed Tromso the lead away at Stromsgodset, but the visitors joy was short lived as the hosts equalised just two minutes later. Early in the second half the hosts went in front and deep into stoppage time Stromsgodset wrapped up the points with a third goal. Molde lead Viking 2-1 at the halfway point thanks to a Mostrøm and a Omoijuanfo goal either side of the visitors equaliser. Omoijuanfo completed his hat trick in the second half to put the hosts 4-1 up, and a late own goal from Bjørshol made the final scoreline 5-1 to Molde.

The recent head to head record between these two clubs and their performances over the last few weeks, suggests that both teams will score on Sunday, and that Molde will win. Molde are unbeaten in their last eight matches against Tromso, winning the last six meetings, and both teams have scored in four of the last five encounters between the two clubs. Tromso have lost four of their last six matches, while Molde have won five of their last six matches, and both teams have scored in five of Tromso’s last six and three of Molde’s last four matches.

Espejord and Valakari joint top score for the hosts with two goals each in the league so far this season, while Omoijuanfo is already on nine goals for Molde following last weeks hat trick. We’re confident that Molde will win and both teams will score on Sunday, and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. Molde have a great record against Tromso and are the clear form favourites heading into kick-off, but we expect the game to be closer than many are expecting due to the midweek cup ties both teams had to negotiate.
