Our prediction for this Norway Eliteserien match:
Molde and Jerv face each other at Aker Stadion in a David-vs-Goliath clash on Matchday 11. Molde aim to overtake Lillestrom in top position, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the newcomers. The Blues are eyeing their seventh consecutive league win, but head coach Erling Moe must warn his men against complacency. All Brynhildsen, Andersen, Ellingsen, Sigurdarson, and Harldseid remain in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Jerv, on the other hand, have been slipping down the standings week by week. Arne Sandsto’s men are on a five-game losing run, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Molde’s party at Aker Stadion. As for the visiting side, defender Iman Mafi has yet to recover from an abdominal problem, but he should be the only absentee in Arne Sandsto’s team.

Magnus Wolff Eikrem is a Norwegian footballer who was born in Molde on August 8, 1990.
