Molde vs Sarpsborg 08 FF
📖 The Preview
Molde are strong favourites here at 66% and that 3-1 scoreline feels right when you look at it. They're at home, they're the better side on paper, and Sarpsborg are dealing with a few headaches with Carstensen and Reinhardsen both missing through injury. The head-to-head actually favours Sarpsborg historically, which explains why they'll nick one back, but Molde's quality at home should be too much overall. Expect goals at both ends, with Molde pulling away comfortably in the end.
