Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Correct score 1-0 – 6.5
Molde to Win
There is an 80%nchance for Molde to win in this match since they won eight of their last ten matches. On the other, Elfsborg are winless in their last four trips drawing and losing twice in the process.
Under 3 Goals
Three of Molde’s last four fixtures ended in under three goals and the exact same trend we could see in Elfsborg’s last four away games. In addition, the stats show a 50% chance that this match will produce three or fewer strikes.
Correct Score 1-0
Despite the fact that both teams have been involved in high-scoring games recently in their domestic leagues. We predict a different outcome in this one. Hence, a 1-0 end result is the favorite result at Helabet.
Molde are in great form going unbeaten in nine games of which they won seven. However, one alarming fact is that their only two losses of the season came at home. Still, coach Erling Moe will be confident his team can pull out a positive result as they are on 2.4 goals per game scoring record.
In Europe, Molde reached the group stage of the Champions League once and the Europa League three times. The MFK had their best result in 2020/21 when they reached the last 16 of the Europa where they lost to Granada. Last season, Molde played in the Conference League and managed only to reach the third qualification round and give in to Trabzonspor.
Elfsborg meanwhile secured the final berth of European qualification in the Allsvenskan the last term by finishing fourth. This is the Yellow ones’ first appearance in Europe since 2015 when they were eliminated by another Norwegian team Odd.
In this season’s Allsvenskan league, Elfsborg are currently ninth on the table winning five drawing five, and losing four matches. Coach Jimmy Thalin’s team is a fine scoring team with 1.80 goals scored on the road but have one clean sheet in their seven away games.
After a shaky start to the season, Molde have found their momentum and are looking unbeatable. In addition, the MFK’s experience in Europe is superior to that of Elfsborga and that is why we predict a home win.
