THE TEAM NEWS
MOLDE
- Perennial challengers or title winners, at least in the last decade or so this season, Molde are in a reasonable position to mount a title challenge again this season.
- Bodo/Glimt stormed their way to a first title last season but they have stuttered throughout this campaign and the home team will come into this expecting to be able to continue to put pressure on the champions.
- They come into this on the back of four successive victories but they will be without several players including the likes of Bjorn Sigurdarson; Molde have six players out with relatively serious injuries.
STROMSGODSET
- Former Bolton striker Henrik Pedersen departed Stromsgodset after a couple of years of underperformance as manager last season but the visitors have been relatively average again this year.
- Interim co-managers Hakob Wibe-Lund and Bjorn Petter Ingebretsen lead a Stromsgodset side on the back of just one defeat in their last four matches as they look to slightly turn a corner.
- The visitors will be without Nicholas Mickelson due to a knee injury as well as the continued absence of Lars-Jorgen Salvesen with his ACL injury.
THE PREDICTION
This is a match between one side on a mission, despite injuries, to regain their crown as the champions of Norway up against a Stromsgodset side looking to just make strides of improvement. The motivation and ambitions are different; Molde will come into this as the favourites especially at home where they have collected 12 points out of a possible 15.
