Player to watch – Magnus Wolff Eikrem
Molde captain Magnus Wolff Eikrem has impressed in the early stages of the 2024 Eliteserien campaign and we're backing the 33-year-old to impress again this weekend.
The former Manchester United midfielder top scores for Molde this season with six goals, already equaling his goals tally of the previous two campaigns.
Molde's captain top scores with six goals
There is a good chance that we will see Eikrem score again this weekend as the midfielder heads into Sunday's match on the back of six goals in his last seven appaerances in league and cup.
