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 2 points split them in the table.

Vaalerenga come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Molde, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 0D 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

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.
