Molde have not enjoyed the best of a start to the campaign, but they will come into this fixture buzzing, having come from behind to inflict a 3-2 defeat on Valerenga last weekend.
The home side sits 10th in the standings with 14 points, five adrift of Bodo/Glimt, who occupy the final European spot.
Having managed eight points across 10 fixtures, KFUM are 14th in the table, which leaves them in the relegation playoff spot, but they could move out of the dreaded drop zone if they can earn a victory and other results go in their favour this weekend.

Molde preview: Topsy Turvy campaign for the home side
Before their last league outing, Molde suffered back-to-back losses, but they found a way to turn the tide with a comeback 3-2 win over Valerenga last weekend. They will be concerned about how they made a hard work of that encounter.
That victory leaves Molde 10th in the standings, a far cry from where they would love to be, even at this stage of the season.
Going into this fixture, there are six points between the pair, and Molde will be aiming to widen that gap by the end of this contest.
Predicted lineup: Karlstrom(GK), Stenevik, Oyvann, Haugan, Amundsen, Breivik, Eikrem, Enggaard, Eriksen, Gulbrandsen & Zady

Player to watch – Kristian Eriksen
Molde midfielder Kristian Eriksen picked up from where he left off last term, and he is currently the joint top scorer with three goals for Molde this season.
The 29-year-old is expected to be influential in this fixture, as the home side is widely expected to win.
Will Molde's top scorer find the back of the net this weekend?
We're backing Eriksen to put in another impressive performance for Molde this weekend, one which will help guide his team to three points against KFUM.
