Molde vs Tromso – Football Whispers' Predictions
Molde currently sit second in the Eliteserien table, 3pts behind Lillestrom, and head into Sunday's clash with Tromso as the big favourites with the bookmakers. The visitors sit firmly in mid-table as things stand but Tromso have played one to three games fewer than all the teams sitting above them so a good run could see them move right into the European places.

Molde to Win
We're backing Molde to win this weekend just as they have done in four of their last six encounters with Tromso, including a 3-0 home win the last time the two sides clashed. The hosts are also unbeaten in their last six competitive and non-competitive matches, picking up four wins and two draws, while Tromso have proven hard to beat of late as well but their last six games have only produced two wins coupled with four stalemates.
Both Teams to Score
Both teams have looked strong in front of goal of late and with that in mind, we're backing both teams to score this weekend. Four of the last six meetings between the two clubs ended with both teams getting on the scoreboard, while five of Molde's and each of Tromso's last six outings in all competitions have also witnessed both teams finding the back of the net.

Molde could go level with the league leaders this weekend
Molde would have been expecting to beat struggling Jerv at home in midweek but instead, the game ended all square. Following a goalless first half, Fofana fired Molde in front in the 51st-minute but Jerv responded well and got back onto level terms in the 65th-minute through Schroter. Molde pushed for a winning goal but failed to carve out a good enough opportunity and had to settle for a share of the spoils.
Molde Predicted Lineup: Karlstrøm, Linnes, Haugen, Bjørnbak, Hansen, Risa, Grødem, Kaasa, Breivik, Hussain & Fofana
Tromso were away at Sandefjord last time out where the visitors fell behind in the 41st-minute and trailed at the interval. However, just 3-minutes after the restart, Vesterlund scored to make it 1-1 and get Tromso back onto level terms. The visitors had only just finished celebrating when Ofkir restored Sandefjord's one-goal lead but Tromso didn't let that get them down. With 9-minutes left on the clock, Kamanzi got on the end of a pass from Vesterlund to score a dramatic late equaliser for Tromso and the scoreline ended 2-2.
Tromso Predicted Lineup: Haugaard, Psyché, Gundersen, Vesterlund, Øyvann, Jenssen, Antonsen, Nilsen, Opsahl, Moses & Mikkelsen
