Molde v KFUM Oslo

Molde vs KFUM Oslo Preview

Molde had to make do with a share of the spoils in last weekend's 0-0 draw away from home at Fredrikstad but nevertheless that point extended Molde's unbeaten run in the Eliteserien to five games, while KFUM Oslo registered a very welcome 2-1 win away from home at lowly Tromso which the visitors will be hoping will give them a welcome boost ahead of this tough looking trip to the Aker Stadion on Saturday night.

Molde still occupy third spot in the Eliteserien table thanks to last week's point and having previously collected wins against Brann 3-1, Tromso 2-0 and Lillestrom 3-0, along with a 2-2 draw with Viking, Molde will still fancy their chances of securing a positive result at home against their upcoming mid-table opponents.

The hosts have been handed just three defeats so far in this season's Norwegian top flight campaign which have come in the form of losses to Odd 2-1, Sandefjord 3-1 and a 4-2 loss to Sarpsborg, but these have been Molde's only slip-ups in an overall total of 18 league matches in the domestic top flight.

In addition, Molde have lost just two of their previous 10 home games at the Aker Stadion while goals look set to make an appearance as no fewer than eight of these 10 home games have resulted in Over 2.5 goals.

KFUM Oslo picked up what could prove to be an important three points in last week's 2-1 win away from home at relegation threatened Tromso which in turn put an end to a previously dismal five-game sequence without a win in the Eliteserien.

The visitors had previously drawn three but lost two of their previous five games which included being handed defeats by the likes of Lillestrom and Viking, both of which were by 2-1 scorelines.

Nevertheless, KFUM Oslo have made a decent fist of things in this their first ever season in the Norwegian top flight as Johannes Moesgaard's side occupy the relative safety of a mid-table position sitting in eighth place where they hold a useful four-point cushion above the relegation play-off spot.

Victories gained over Sarpsborg, Haugesund, Rosenborg and Tromso show KFUM Oslo are no mugs but prior to last week's 2-1 victory, the visitors had slipped to back-to-back defeats at the hands of the aforementioned Lillestrom and Viking.

Goals do look likely though in this upcoming clash at the Aker Stadion as seven of KFUM Oslo's last 10 games overall have also produced three goals or more as well.
