Vaalerenga welcome Molde at Intility Arena, Oslo on Saturday, Aug 29 at 4:00 PM in a Eliteserien fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Vaalerenga come into this fixture in good form (3W 0D 2L recently). Molde travel in mixed form (2W 2D 1L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Vaalerenga face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Molde have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Vaalerenga won 1–5. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Vaalerenga a slight edge, but Molde are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
