Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Following a 2-2 draw with HJK, Molde will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Europa Conference League when they face Mlada Boleslav in round 6. Molde are eager to put an end to their four-match winless run and a triumph over Mlada Boleslav could see them climb to the playoffs berth. A man to watch in the home team will be Frederik Ihler, who scored a brace against Helsinki, while defender Martin Bjornbak is a major doubt.
Andreas Brannstrom’s troops, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Real Betis and Jagiellonia. Mlada Boleslav aim to give fans yet another reason to celebrate, but seeing that Molde are tough to beat at Aker Stadion, we are tempted to place our bets on draw. Speaking of the away team, all Kostka, Kozel, and Masek are out of contention with injuries.
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.
