From our viewpoint, Molde FK seem most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, going with Jacob Karlstroem, Neraysho Kasanwirjo, Eirik Haugan, I. Helstad Amundsen, Birk Risa, Mats Moeller Daehli, J. Steen Christensen, S. Milian Granaas, Emil Breivik, O. Spiten-Nysaether and Fredrik Gulbrandsen.
🔮 Prediction
We envisage that FK Haugesund are dangerous enough to breach the defence of this Molde FK lineup, although one goal likely won’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We’re therefore expecting a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 advantage for Molde FK by the conclusion of the game. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
