Molde vs Stabaek: Top Free Betting Tips

After losing to Brann in NM Cup’s semi-finals, Stabaek has the challenge of the defending champions Molde in the next Eliteserien engagement. The fixture will take place at Aker Stadion on Friday, 30 April. MFK are still in search of their first league victory this season, losing the last game against Lillestrom.

Both Teams to Score Prediction: No

Stabeak couldn’t find the back of the net on the only road trip in Eliteserien 2023 against Bodo/Glimt. The Blues have also failed to score in two of the last four H2Hs with Molde. On the other hand, MFK scored in two consecutive matches before this fixture. The defending champions Molde have also not missed the back of the net in any competitive match since the mid of September 2022. Given these numbers, we expect only Molde to be strong enough to get on the scoreboard in this game.

Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

Molde has notched only two goals in the starting three Eliteserien 2023 matches. On the other hand, Stabaek has rattled the net only three times in the same duration. The Blues have also failed to score in three of the previous four matches in the Norwegian top division and NM Cup. Additionally, the previous meeting between these two clubs concluded with Under 2.5 Goals in March 2023. Following these stats, we predict this game to feature the same outcome on Friday.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-0 to Molde

Molde has not been great at the start of the season and has not scored more than once in three matches. However, MFK has rattled the net multiple times in four of the previous five matches at Aker Stadion. The home side have also scored twice or more in all of the last five H2Hs with Stabaek in front of the home crowd. On the other side, the Blues got thrashed by four goals in the only visit this season against Bodo. Hence, we predict Molde to record a 2-0 lead before the referee blows his final whistle.

Molde vs Stabaek: Form, Recent Games, and News

Molde Preview

Emil Breivik broke the deadlock for Molde to score an equaliser against Lillestrom in the 35th minute of the previous game. However, Akor Adams took only two minutes to get the Canaries back with the lead for a commanding edge in a 2-1 win. Molde has saved a single point in three Eliteserien 2023 games with a home draw against Rosenborg. MFK’s preparation also takes a hit by the injury-related absence of Eirik Ulland and red-card suspension of Magnus Wolff Eikren.

Stabaek Preview

Stabaek hosted Brann in the last game and finished their NM Campaign with a 0-2 defeat in the semi-finals. Aune Heggebo netted the first goal of the match in the 20th minute and Bard Finne extended the lead in the 59th minute. Manager Lars Bohinen has a clean bill of health to focus on his game plan for the next challenge.
