Over their prior 6 games, Per-Mathias Høgmo's Molde FK have managed to score a total of 7 times, with that being an average number of goals per match of 1.17.

Kristiansund
LWLDWL
After a losing effort in their last game against Fredrikstad FK in Eliteserien action, Kristiansund and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
In that match, Kristiansund managed 60% possession and 7 attempts on goal with 1 on target. On the other side, Fredrikstad got 11 shots on goal with 3 on target. Stian Molde (71') was the scorer 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.
