Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Jagiellonia and Molde square off against each other at Chorten Arena in what is expected to be an interesting Conference League game. Jagiellonia are on a six-game winning run in all competitions and they are surely capable of matching Molde at home. Both Skrzypczak and Villa Miki are sidelined with injuries for the home side, while duo Diaby-Fadiga – Wojdakowski is rated doubtful for Thursday’s clash.
The Norwegians, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Gent. As Molde looked sharp in front of goal in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Bodo at the weekend, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Casper Oyvann limped off with injury in the last Eliteserien game, with Eirik Haugan likely to step up. All Bakke, Berisha, and Gulbrandsen 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.
