Molde vs Silkeborg IF Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Devesh Jaganath in Europa League Predictions
Molde and Silkeborg will get their 2024-25 Europa League campaigns underway in the second qualifying round this Thursday at Aker Stadion. The second leg of this match will take place at JYSK Park next week with the winner moving on to face either Kilmarnock or Cercle Brugge in round three. Check out our prediction below.
The 2023 season could have been a total nightmare for the Blue Rascals, having only managed to finish in fifth place in the Eliteserien, ending 19 points behind league winners Bodo/Glimt. However, they salvaged the campaign in the end by beating Sarpsborg 4-2 in the NM Cupen which earned them a spot in Europe.
Last season, Molde finished third in their group in this competition behind Leverkusen and Qarabag. They dropped to the Conference League thereafter but were knocked out in the Round of 16 by Club Brugge with a 4-2 aggregate scoreline.
Molde have not been in the greatest form this season either, currently third in their domestic league after 16 games, eight points behind the leaders. They also failed to win their last two games, drawing goalless with Fredrikstand and losing 3-2 to KFUM last weekend.
At home, Molde have won two, drawn two and lost two of their last six games, but did score two or more goals in each of those matches.
Meanwhile, SIF had another progressive season in 2023, finishing in the top six in their domestic league while winning their first Danish Cup title in over 20 years, which also earned them entry into this competition.
Last season, Silkeborg were knocked out of qualifying in the playoffs. They have never made it to the main draw of the Europa League in five previous qualification campaigns, nor have they ever won a match in qualifying.
Silkeborg made a winning start in the Superliga this season, though, beating SonderjyskE 1-0 at home over the weekend. However, they have only won one of their last six away games in all competitions.

Our Molde vs Silkeborg IF Prediction
Both these sides had fairly underwhelming domestic league seasons last time out but Molde’s experience at this level could be a crucial factor here. Additionally, the Norwegian outfit are midway through their league season while the visitors have only played one competitive match this term.
Silkeborg are likely to try and prioritise a clean sheet here, but we feel the hosts will find a way through to secure a first-leg lead in the contest. Our Molde vs Silkeborg prediction: Molde wins!
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
