Our prediction for this Norway Eliteserien match:
Molde will look to build on their impressive 4-1 victory over Stromsgodset when they take on Haugesund at Aker Stadion. After a slow start to the season, the Blues are finally showing signs of improvement, with their attacking unit clicking into gear. Erling Moe’s men will be eager to keep the momentum going against an out-of-form Haugesund side. The hosts are almost at full strength, with only midfielder Kristian Eriksen missing through injury.
Haugesund, on the other hand, have suffered back-to-back defeats to Tromso and Viking, failing to find the net in either match. Their away record continues to be a concern, and the absence of suspended defender Axel Kryger further complicates matters for head coach Jostein Grindhaug. With their defensive line weakened and morale low, the visitors face an uphill task in Molde. Given the contrasting form and squad situations, anything but a home win would be a major surprise. Expect Molde to dominate proceedings and move closer to the top half of the Eliteserien table with another convincing performance.
