Molde FK

DLWWWL

Molde FK won’t want a repeat of their last result here following a 3-0 Conference League defeat last time out to Club Brugge.

Andreas Skov Olsen (45', 48') and Michał Skóraś (70') scored for Club Brugge.

It’s been seldom in recent times that Molde FK have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Molde FK have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 12 goals along the way. Such a pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward into this game, however.
