Molde & Over 3.5 Goals
We're backing Molde to secure4 a comfortable victory on Wednesday but have backed over 3.5 goals to be scored in the process. Molde are unbeaten in their last six matches in all competitions, picking up five wins and one draw, and at least four goals have been scored in three of those matches. Over 3.5 goals have also been scored in two of Jerv's last five outings and the visitors have lost four of their last six matches.
Both Teams to Score
There is a good chance that we will be treated to goals at both ends of the pitch this Wednesday, despite the vast points gap that separates these two clubs. Molde have only kept one clean sheet in their last six competitive and non-competitive matches and both teams have scored in five of those fixtures. Four of Jerv's last six matches, including friendlies, have also produced goals at both ends of the pitch, so you can see just why we're not backing either side to keep their clean sheet intact.

Jerv face the impossible away at title-challenging Molde
Molde were away at mid-table HamKam at the weekend in a game that turned out to be tight and tense throughout. Both teams created chances to win the game but failed to take them and the scoreline ended goalless. That point leaves Molde sitting 4pts behind Lillestrom with a game in hand so it is vital their return to winning ways on Wednesday.
Molde Predicted Lineup: Karlstrøm, Linnes, Haugen, Bjørnbak, Hansen, Haugan, Kaasa, Grødem, Breivik, Mannsverk & Fofana
Jerv's home game against Haugesund on Saturday appeared to be heading for a goalless draw until Schroter popped up in the 90th-minute to hand the hosts all 3pts. That victory hasn't moved Jerv any higher up in the table but the struggling side are within a point of Valerenga and 2pts behind Haugesund as things stand.
Jerv Predicted Lineup: Øvretveit, Norheim, Sandberg, Arrocha, Haarup, Kolskogen, Wichmann, Ugland, Diallo, Furtado & Hustad
Team News
Molde: Eikrem, Brynhildsen, Ulland Andersen, Ellingsen, Sigurdarson and Haraldseid are all injury concerns for the hosts.
