General match analysis
Molde sit 5th, while Kristiansund are 15th, and the gap is reflected in their current form: the visitors have collected 8 points from their last 5 matches, compared with just 1 for the hosts. Kristiansund have lost 4 of their last 5 games and scored only 3 goals in that run, whereas Molde have found the net 12 times. The visitors also hold a clear edge in chance creation away from home, averaging 13.86 shots and 5.43 on target per match, compared with Kristiansund’s 12.14 and 3.57. Molde enjoy more possession (59% to 44%) and are less likely to fail to score, doing so in 14% of matches compared with 29% for the hosts. However, Molde concede an average of 1.86 goals away from home, so a draw remains a realistic possibility; nevertheless, Kristiansund’s poor finishing and current losing streak point towards an away win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The signal for both teams to score is clear: BTTS occurred in 63% of Kristiansund’s matches and as many as 71% of Molde’s, compared with the league average of 55%. Molde recorded BTTS in 100% of their last five matches, scoring an average of 2.4 goals and conceding 2.0, which supports an open game scenario. Kristiansund’s recent attacking form is admittedly weaker, having scored only 3 goals in their last five matches, but Molde have kept a clean sheet in just 14% of their games and concede an average of 1.86 goals away from home. The hosts also average xG of 1.66, only slightly below Molde’s 1.58, while both teams register around 14 shots per match. Kristiansund’s attacking form over the last five rounds is a risk to the pick; however, Molde’s weak defense and regular scoring make BTTS - Yes the more convincing option.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The strongest pick is Over 1.5 goals, as at least two goals were scored in 75% of Kristiansund’s matches and as many as 86% of Molde’s games this season.

During this period, Molde averaged 1.93 xG, while the hosts’ defense allowed opponents 1.86 xG, supporting a projection of around 1.63 goals for the visitors. The hosts have recently scored just 0.6 goals per match, but their season-long home xG stands at 1.66, while Molde have kept a clean sheet in only 14% of their away matches. The projected total of 2.95 goals, along with Over 2.5 landing in 80% and 100% of the last five matches for Kristiansund and Molde respectively, supports a goals-based outlook, with the 1.5 line offering by far the greatest safety margin.
