Valerenga vs Molde Prediction
Valerenga vs Molde Prediction and Betting Tips for Sunday’s Eliteserien clash at Intility Arena. The match sees two teams stuck in the bottom half of the table, both with 11 points from 10 games. In this article, you’ll get expert Eliteserien Predictions from our XpertStats analysts.
- Molde are unbeaten in their last five matches against Valerenga
- Valerenga have only won once at home this season
- Molde have kept three clean sheets in their last four away games
- Both teams average over 2 goals per game this season
Valerenga return home looking to recover from a narrow 2-1 defeat to Tromso. Their recent form includes just one win in five, despite picking up four valuable points against direct relegation rivals HamKam and KFUM. Offensively, they are reliable at finding the net, with an average of 1.5 goals scored per match and 100% of games featuring over 1.5 goals. However, their defensive frailties remain a concern, conceding two goals per match on average and registering a BTTS rate of 75%.
Home form has been a persistent issue for the Bohemians. Since their opening day win over league leaders Viking, they have failed to win again at Intility Arena. This underlines a troubling inconsistency when playing in front of their fans. With just one home victory in the campaign, head coach Geir Bakke will be under pressure to turn their stadium into more of a fortress if Valerenga are to avoid another relegation scrap.
Molde’s season so far has been far from the standard expected. Last year’s fifth-placed finish feels distant, with Per-Mathias Hogmo’s men failing to find rhythm. However, they have shown flashes of potential—most notably in a commanding 3-0 win at Brann. Three losses in their last four league outings highlight ongoing issues, but defensive solidity away from home, including three clean sheets in their last four on the road, gives hope of a turnaround.
The visitors concede just one goal per match on average and have kept things tight with only 20% of their games ending with both teams scoring. While their attacking output of 1.4 goals per match is modest, it has proven enough on the road, where they’ve gathered seven points recently. The return of Mads Enggard from suspension could further stabilize their midfield, as Molde aim to extend their five-match unbeaten streak against Valerenga. Based on current stats, this is a fixture where the visitors are more likely to avoid defeat.
Eliteserien Predictions suggest a close contest, but Molde’s recent away record and defensive resilience tip the balance slightly in their favor.
Molde’s away form makes a strong case for a Double Chance bet. Despite their overall inconsistency this season, they’ve shown discipline on the road, securing seven points from their last four away games and keeping three clean sheets in the process. In contrast, Valerenga have managed just one home win all season, which came on the opening weekend. Their defensive vulnerabilities are evident, conceding an average of two goals per game and allowing goals in 75% of matches. While Valerenga average 1.5 goals per game, their inability to keep teams out is their biggest problem. Molde’s BTTS rate is only 20%, suggesting they’re more efficient at controlling games defensively. Additionally, Molde are unbeaten in their last five meetings against Valerenga, winning three of those. With a more balanced setup and key players returning, the visitors are well positioned to at least avoid defeat on Sunday.
