Molde vs Odds BK Prediction & Betting Tips - Eliteserien

Prediction published on 08/07/2021, 12:48  by Nived in Football Predictions

Molde return to action in the Eliteserien (Norwegian top-flight) with their clash against Odd. The Norwegian giants have enjoyed an impressive start to the ongoing season and are at the top of the table with 26 points from 12 games, whereas Odd, who have played two fewer games, occupy seventh-place with 16 points.

On paper, it feels as if there is only one winner. But Molde will know football games are hardly ever won on paper, especially after their recent outing. During that encounter with eleventh-placed Sarpsborg, the league leaders succumbed to a 1-0 defeat. As such, Molde are in desperate need of returning to winning ways, with second-placed Bodo/Glimt just two points behind.

Meanwhile, Odd came from behind twice in their last outing to salvage a 2-2 draw against Rosenborg. They have also won three of their last five games in the league and will know they have a realistic chance of walking away with at least a point, should they play to their potential. Historically, Molde have edged this fixture with 16 wins in 42 matches compared to just 11 for Odd. There have also been a combined 103 goals scored in this fixture during that time. It wouldn’t be a surprise if both teams can add to the tally at the end of the upcoming meeting.
