Molde vs SK Brann Prediction & Betting Tips - Eliteserien
by Joseph King | in Football Predictions
The final fixture of matchday 13 in the Norwegian Eliteserien sees sixth-placed Molde FK hosting third-place Brann. Molde need to go on an extended winning run if they are to get back into the title race and have a shot at defending their crown. The league champions now find themselves 12 points behind Bodo-Glimt as we approach the halfway mark of the season. Molde missed the chance to close the gap on their title rivals after a wild 2-2 draw with Bodo-Glimt last Sunday. It was a particularly stinging result as Molde relinquished a two goal halftime lead despite being reduced to 10 men, allowing the ultimate equalizer in the 93rd minute. They’ll have to bounce back quickly here and will be boosted by playing at the Aker Stadion where they have been in good form. Molde have won four and drawn once in their six outings in front of the home fans while accumulating a +9 goal differential.
Brann, who lifted the Norwegian Cup six weeks ago, have been flying in the Eliteserien after winning promotion from the second division last season. They’ve won seven of their first 13 league fixtures to put them third in the standings and eight points behind leaders Bodo-Glimt. The Rødtrøyene are coming off a 2-1 home win over HamKam in their most recent outing. It’s the second consecutive victory for SK Brann and their ninth in the last 11 across all competitions as they continue to put up impressive results. Brann are unbeaten at home in the Eliteserien but have looked vulnerable on their travels. The visitors have won just two of six away trips, resulting in a goal differential of -1 compared to a strong +11 on home soil. Brann certainly haven’t been goal shy this season. Including their recent NM Cup results, Brann have put up 28 goals in their last eight fixtures for an average of 3.5 scored per outing. With their opponents also on a good scoring run, an action-packed matchup looks to be on the cards.Limited Offer. Currently at DraftKings
