Since a losing effort in their last game against Strømsgodset IF in Eliteserien competition, Sandefjord and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

A run of steadfast performances by the Sandefjord defence has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 4 from their previous 6 outings in total. During the same period, their own forwards have managed to score 6.

Leading up to this clash, Sandefjord:

• haven't beaten Molde FK when having played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.
