Prediction: 1-1
Cercle Brugge
Aker Stadion will be the centre of attention when Molde and Cercle Brugge go head to head in the Europa League third qualifying round, return leg. Molde eliminated Silkeborg in round 2, but they will have a mountain to climb in the upcoming double-header. Both Fredrik Gulbrandsen and Veton Berisha are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Jupiler League outfit, on the other hand, set up a meeting with Molde by beating Kilmarnock in the double-header. Cercle Brugge are seen as favourites to win this two-legged tie, but they should be happy with the share of spoils in the first leg. All Efekele, Diakite, and De Wilde are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team. Ahoueke Denkey should continue leading the line for the visitors despite failing to convert a penalty in the 1-0 win over Kilmarnock.
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.
