Preview:

Molde are now fifth in the tables and I would say this is less than what they can do and less than what they've been expecting from this season. But there's a reason why Rosenborg are first and Molde only fifth: it's the away record which plays the role. Molde, unlike Rosenborg or even Stabaek and other teams, have been modest away from home and even if they tend to dominate their games by possession, they don't have the same fire up-front as they have at home and their defense is not very good either.

Sarpsborg 08 got a good start to the season but they seem to fall apart recently, with three defeats and just one draw in the last four league fixtures. But they do well on the break and if Molde does mistakes at the back, Sarpsborg guys will punish them. Sarpsborg 08 are one of the teams that do better as on the road mostly, surely because on the road they play more often as underdogs, and their counter-attacking style yields more fruit. But this time we have the same advantage at home, because Molde will be visiting the Sarpsborg Stadion as favorites, which will surely suit the home side.
