View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The signal for both teams to score is clear, as BTTS occurred in 91% of Molde matches and 78% of Aalesund fixtures, compared with the league average of 57%. Molde have failed to keep a clean sheet in every match this season, while Aalesund have a 0% rate of matches without conceding, strongly supporting a goal for both sides. The hosts score an average of 2.00 goals, while the visitors average 1.00, with xG figures of 1.99 and 1.32 respectively. Both defenses also allow plenty of high-quality chances: opponents’ average xG is 1.86 for Molde and 2.01 for Aalesund. In their last five matches, both teams recorded BTTS in 60% of games, but their very high average goals scored—5.0 and 4.4—continue to favor the BTTS - Yes scenario.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

Molde score an average of 2.00 goals per match, while Aalesund concede 2.11, with an almost identical profile in terms of chance quality: 1.99 xG for the hosts compared with 2.01 xG allowed by the visitors. At the other end, Molde allow opponents an average of 2.36 goals, while Aalesund create chances worth 1.32 xG, giving the visitors a realistic opportunity to score. At least two goals were scored in 100% of Molde matches and 89% of Aalesund fixtures, while the league average of 3.15 goals further supports the prospect of an open game. In their last five appearances, both teams recorded 80% of matches with at least three goals, while Aalesund allowed an average of 2.11 xG. The strongest selection is Over 1.5 goals, as the data for both teams clearly limits the risk of a goalless game or a match with only one goal.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

Molde have the clearer attacking potential, averaging 1.99 xG compared with Aalesund’s 1.32 xG, while also recording 6.36 shots on target per match against their opponents’ 3.56. The hosts have won all of their last five matches, scoring an average of 5.0 goals and taking the lead at the break in each of them. Aalesund, meanwhile, have lost 56% of their matches this season, and were trailing after half-time in 67% of games, which increases Molde’s chances of holding on to their advantage. The HT/FT scenario of Molde leading at half-time and securing a full-time victory is therefore the strongest, although Aalesund’s high average of 2.11 goals conceded also points to a realistic possibility of a higher-scoring match.
