Fredrikstad vs Molde Prediction
Fredrikstad vs Molde Prediction and Betting Tips for this Eliteserien showdown at Nye Fredrikstad Stadion on Saturday. The home side are hoping to break a worrying winless streak, while visitors Molde aim to pull clear of the relegation zone. In this preview, you’ll find valuable insights and our expert Eliteserien Predictions to help you make smarter bets.
- Fredrikstad are winless in their last seven matches, with five defeats.
- Molde have won six of their last eight away games despite recent struggles.
- Both teams average 1.43 goals scored per match this season.
Fredrikstad come into this clash desperate to get back on track after a frustrating draw with Valerenga. While they produced a fair 1.5 xG and 10 shots inside the box in that game, goals have been hard to come by recently. Andreas Hagen’s men have scored just twice in their last five matches and failed to net in three of those. At home, they’ve also struggled, with two defeats in their last three at Nye Fredrikstad Stadion following a four-match winning run earlier in the campaign.
The hosts will need to tighten up defensively too. Despite conceding an average of just 0.71 goals per match this season, Aristokratene have let in 14 goals during their seven-game winless streak. Historically, Fredrikstad have found Molde a tough opponent, losing four and drawing one of their last five meetings before edging a cup final win on penalties last December. They’ll hope the likes of Ohlenschlaeger and Holten can rediscover their scoring touch this weekend.
Molde, meanwhile, need a lift after back-to-back league defeats left them hovering just two points above the drop zone. They managed only two shots in a 1-0 loss at Tromso, hampered by going down to 10 men before half-time. Manager Per-Mathias Hogmo will expect a response from his attacking players, especially Veton Berisha and wide men Hestad and Gulbrandsen. The visitors’ stats suggest there could be goals: they average 1.43 scored and 1.14 conceded per match, with 71% of their games going over 2.5 goals.
Despite patchy home form, Molde have been solid on their travels, winning six of their last eight away fixtures. With Fredrikstad struggling in front of goal and Molde eager to widen the gap from the relegation zone, backing the visitors to avoid defeat could prove the value play here. Expect a tight contest with chances at both ends but Molde’s away form gives them the slight edge for our final Eliteserien Predictions.
Backing Molde on the double chance (X2) makes sense given Fredrikstad’s worrying form. They’ve failed to win any of their last seven games, losing five of those and scoring just two goals in their last five outings. Despite Fredrikstad’s decent defensive average of 0.71 goals conceded per match, they’ve struggled to impose themselves against stronger sides like Molde. The visitors have a solid away record, with six wins from their last eight on the road, which highlights their ability to perform under pressure away from home. Even though Molde have slipped up recently, they will be motivated to distance themselves from the relegation zone. While the visitors will miss Caleb Zady Sery, they still have enough attacking quality with Berisha, Hestad and Gulbrandsen to trouble a Fredrikstad side lacking confidence. Given the hosts’ recent struggles at Nye Fredrikstad Stadion, the value lies with Molde avoiding defeat.
