Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
After defeating Brann 2-1 in the Eliteserien at the weekend, Molde will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on APOEL in the Conference League round 4. The Blues are eyeing their second win of the process and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against APOEL. All Oyvann, Guldbrandsen, and Berisha continue to miss out with injuries, while both Emil Breivik and Isak Amundsen are back from the domestic bans.
The Cypriotes, on the other hand, did well to beat Fiorentina at home in their last Conference League game, but given their difficulties on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Molde this time out. Ghana international Kingsley Sarfo remains in the recovery room, but the 29-year-old midfielder should be the only absentee in the away team this time out.
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.
