Aalesund's fortunes have improved over the course of the season, as they had no wins in their first seven Eliteserien fixtures but are unbeaten in four consecutive league outings since then.
Kjetil Rekdal’s troops have been the league's worst home team, with a 1-3-2 win-draw-loss record in six league matches at Color Line Stadion.
The hosts have a few players sidelined for this clash, including Paul Ngongo Iverson, Philip Sandvik Aukland, Mathias Kristensen, and Janus Seehusen. They are just above the relegation zone in 13th place.
On the other hand, Molde are fifth in the Eliteserien, just behind the European spots with 19 points from a possible 33.
While the visitors have won five of six home games this season, they have been one of the league's worst travellers, with a 1-1-3 win-draw-loss record in five matches on the road.
Although Sindre Tjelmeland’s men are coming off back-to-back defeats in friendlies against Rosenborg and Bodo/Glimt, they have won four of their last six competitive fixtures.
Molde also have a solid track record against Aalesund, having won eight of the last 10 encounters between these teams. However, they lost their last trip to this stadium.
There are three confirmed injury absences for the visiting team, including goalkeeper Mads Juhl Kikkenborg (ACL), defender Fredrik Kristensen Dahl (knee), and forward Jalal Abdullai.

Whispers Predicts: Aalesund 1-2 Molde
At 6/5 (2.20), Molde are considered favourites by the bookmakers.
Despite their recent struggles, the visitors have been the dominant side in this fixture in recent years, and considering Aalesund's record at home this season, we are confident that Molde will claim all the spoils after 90 minutes.
Moreover, both teams were on the scoresheet in Molde's last five matches across all competitions and in Aalesund's last four league games, so we should expect goals at both ends.
We also fancy Molde & over 2.5 total goals at 9/5 (2.80). This combination landed in four of the last five H2Hs.
> Over 2.5 total goals at 11/20 (1.55) | Likelihood: Probable
> BTTS – Yes at 1/2 (1.50) | Likelihood: Probable
