📰 Team News: Molde FK

Veton Berisha (unknown injury), Martin Bjørnbak (unknown injury) and Mats Møller Dæhli (strain) will be missing for Molde FK boss Erling Moe.

ℹ️ Team News: Rosenborg BK

Rosenborg BK boss Alfred Johansson has to currently contend with reduced team options. Tomas Nemcik (Hamstring injury), Noah Jean Holm (Foot injury) and Jonathan Augustinsson (unknown injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We are inclined to think that Troillongan might elect for a 4-3-3 lineup, going with Sander Tangvik, Erlend Dahl Reitan, M. Konradsen Ceide, Haakon Volden, U. Y. Jenssen, Markus Henriksen, Ole Kristian Selnaes, Sverre Halseth Nypan, Emil Frederiksen, Ole Christian Saeter and Jesper Reitan-Sunde.

💡 Prediction

For this match, we think that Molde FK have it within them to stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

Conversely, Rosenborg BK won’t find it easy to make a breakthrough although we do reckon that they could well end up scoring here.

We’re therefore expecting to see a pretty comfortable 3-1 win for Molde FK come full-time.
