Fredrikstad suffered a 3-1 loss to Kristiansund in their last game. Morten Bjorlo scored the first goal of the game just 9 minutes into the game from the penalty spot, but he was sent off 10 minutes later. Fredrikstad only managed 37% possession of the ball but still had four shots on target. The loss extended Fredrikstad’s winless run to 7 games in all competitions. However, they are unbeaten in their last five home games, winning 3 of them. They sit 5th on the table with 22 points in 13 games, scoring 21 and conceding 14.

• Morten Björlo will miss this clash after receiving a direct red card.
• Jeppe Kjaer is out of this clash due to a knock injury.
• Joannes Bjartalid is ruled out of this clash due to an unknown injury.

Molde recorded a 3-0 win over Lillestrom in their last game. Kristian Eriksen and Mathias Lovik were all on the scoreboard. The two players have been prolific this season, with Kristian Eriksen scoring in each of his last five games. On the other hand, Mathias Lovik has scored in each of their previous three games. Molde have won their last three games and have remained unbeaten in their previous five games. Moreover, they are unbeaten in 9 of their last ten away games. They sit 3rd on the table with 27 points in 14 games, scoring 30 and conceding 16.

• Fredrik Gulbrandsen is ruled out of this clash due to an unknown injury.
• Oliver Petersen will miss this clash due to a groin injury.
• Veton Berisha is a doubt for this clash.

Fredrikstad – Fischer, Woledzi, Kvile, Aukland, Rafn, Magnusson, Metcalfe, Hendriksson, Molde, Sorlokk, Johansen.

Molde – Posiadala, Amudsen, Oyvann, Lund, Lunnes, Daehli, Kaasa, Breivik, Lovik, Eriksen, Eikrem.

After winning the second-division league last season, Fredrikstad have shown the stuff they are made of this season. However, Molde remain one of the best teams in the league. With this, I expect both sides to find the back of the net, and Molde will ink out a win.
