Molde vs Elfsborg Match Preview

Molde will start their campaign in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers coming in great form and with very high morale even though they will have to face a tough rival like Elfsborg. Molde comes after three wins and two draws across all competitions over the last five matches. In total, they are unbeaten during the last 14 matches where they have collected 12 wins and just 2 draws.

In the domestic league, they have been performing at a high level being ranked first, and could really aim for the title if they keep going like this. Also in the Norwegian Cup they have reached the 1/8 finals and will seek to go till the end. Their offensive side has been on point with 11 goals over the last five games averaging two goals per game. In fact, in the domestic league, they have the second-best attack with 29 goals scored.

Elfsborg, on the other hand, starts their campaign not at the best moment. They come after two wins two draws and a loss over the last five matches across all competitions.

In the domestic league, they are ranked at 9th place with 20 points and it seems difficult to believe that this season they will compete for a spot in the European competitions. Their weakness has been their defensive side as they have conceded 18 goals in the league so far and failed to keep a clean sheet in any of the last five league games. Also on the road, their performances have been shaky with a single win over the previous five encounters and a total of 8 goals conceded. Only in the win against Degerfors, they managed to keep a clean sheet.

In conclusion, I think Molde can win this match or get at least a draw out of it. They will play at home ground and that is an advantage as they are unbeaten for more than two months here. Elfsborg, as I said, is not playing their best football right now and having also less experience in this kind of competitions I do not see them winning this duel.
