Kristiansund

After tasting defeat last time out to Fredrikstad FK in Eliteserien competition, Kristiansund and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that match, Kristiansund managed 60% possession and 7 shots at goal with 1 of them on target. On the other side, Fredrikstad had 11 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Stian Molde (70') scored for Fredrikstad FK.

The stats tell the story, and Kristiansund have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 10 goals in total. In defence, Kristiansund have been far from perfect. That sort of pattern might not be continued into this next game, though.

Taking a look at their past results, Kristiansund:

• have not registered a win against Molde FK when they've played them away from home in the last 6 matches in the league. Not good.
• are undefeated in their previous 3 league matches away from home.

✨ Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Molde FK will probably be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.

At the other end, Kristiansund may well find it hard getting on the scoresheet although we do think that they will probably end up managing to get on the scoresheet.

We’re tipping a 3-1 victory for Molde FK when all’s said and done.
