Elfsborg
Molde and Elfsborg go head to head at Aker Stadion in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Thursday’s program. Molde did well to eliminate Cercle Brugge in the third qualifying round, but they do not want to stop now. As Erling Moe’s men were not in action in the national championship at the weekend, tired legs should not prove to be a big problem for the home side. Both Fredrik Gulbrandsen and Veton Berisha are injured for the home side.
Elfsborg, on the other hand, set up a meeting with Molde by beating Rijeka in the double-header. The Allsvenskan outfit are undefeated in the previous five games in all competitions, but home win should be considered this time out as Molde have turned their Aker Stadion into a real fortress. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team, but defender Sebastian Holmen is only one yellow card away from suspension.
Highlighted Team (Molde):
Based in Molde, Norway, Molde FK are one of the most successful Eliteserien clubs of the century. The Blues won their fourth domestic championship in 2019, with the team finishing the process 14 points clear of second-place Bodo.
However, Molde failed to defend their trophy the following season as Bodo looked unstoppable in the Norwegian top flight. Speaking of the Norwegian Cup, the Blues clinched their fourth silverware in 2014, with the team beating Odd 2-0 in the title game. The Eliteserien outfit play home games at Aker Stadion, the venue with the capacity of 11,249 spectators.
Thanks to a second-place finish in the 1998 Eliteserien campaign, Molde qualified for the Champions League for the first time ever. As a result, the likes of Real, Porto, and Olympiakos visited Norway. Molde are well known for their blue shirts and white shorts, with the team wearing white jerseys and blue shorts when playing on the road.
