Prediction: 1-2
Molde
A place in the Conference League last 16 will be at stake when Shamrock Rovers and Molde lock horns at Tallaght Stadium on Thursday evening. Shamrock surprisingly won the first leg 1-0 (1-0), but it has to be noted that Molde defender Valdemar Lund was sent off on the stroke of half-time. The Hoops are determined to defend their slim lead in front of home fans; therefore, they are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the second leg. Both Daniel Cleary and Dylan Watts are banned for the hosts.
The Norwegians, on the other hand, are hungry for revenge and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Shamrock. As Molde should finish the game with eleven players on the field this time out, we are tempted to put our money on Per-Mathias Hogmo’s men. Aforementioned defender Lund misses out through suspension, whilst all Bakke, Berisha, and Oyvann are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side.
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.
