General match analysis
Molde has a clear statistical advantage: at home they win 75% of matches, score on average 2.75 goals and concede 0.75 per game, while Kristiansund have yet to win away (0% wins) and average just 0.33 goals per match on the road. In attack Molde average 14.25 shots and 5.0 on target at home with a 19% conversion and xG 1.64, whereas Kristiansund away record only 9.67 shots and 2.67 on target with a 3% conversion and xG 1.09, reflecting significantly lower quality of chances. Recent form over the last 5 matches confirms the gap: Molde scored 11 goals and have a 3-1-1 record with an average 2 points per game, while Kristiansund scored 4 goals and average 1 point per game (record 1-2-2). Defensively the difference is also pronounced: Kristiansund concede 1.67 goals on average away with xG against 1.81, while Molde at home concede only 0.75 with xG against 1.25, suggesting the visitors will struggle to create clear chances. On this basis I predict a home win; I assess the probabilities at approximately 78% for Molde, 14% for a draw and 8% for an away upset.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Molde averages 1.5 goals per match this season (xG 1.47) and at home registers 5.25 shots on target, while Kristiansund manages only 0.33 goals on average (xG 1.09) and 2.67 shots on target—combined with a conversion rate of 12% vs 3% this strongly favors the home side to score. The season-to-date BTTS rate is 50% for Molde and 33% for Kristiansund, and in the last 5 matches 60% and 40% respectively; league average BTTS is 48%, so the overall signal is moderate. Kristiansund concedes 1.67 goals on average this season and has no clean sheets away (0% of away matches without conceding), but has scored only 7 goals this season and 4 in the last 5 matches, which reduces the likelihood of them scoring. Molde also concedes goals (1.5 this season) but has 25% of home matches with a clean sheet, so scenarios with a single team scoring are more likely than both teams scoring. Considering Kristiansund’s low attacking efficiency (0.33 goals/match, 3% conversion) and the mixed BTTS indicators (50%/33% seasonally), I project 'No' at 58% and 'Yes' at 42%.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Molde averages 1.5 goals at home this season, while Kristiansund manages only 0.33 goals away; their xG figures are 1.47 (Molde) and 1.09 (Kristiansund), yielding a combined xG = 2.56. Both teams have 100% of matches this season over 1.5 goals, and Molde has scored 11 and conceded 5 in the last 5 fixtures (16 goals total, i.e. 3.2 per match), which strongly supports Over 1.5. Kristiansund has very low finishing efficiency (shot conversion 3%) and averages just 2.67 shots on target per match, explaining the mere 0.33 away goals and limiting the probability of high-scoring outcomes (Over 3.5). Molde has 50% of home matches over 2.5, Kristiansund 0% on the road, so Over 2.5 is moderately likely, whereas Over 1.5 is the strongest signal; expected goals are approx. 1.65 for Molde and 0.90 for Kristiansund (total 2.55).
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Molde is a clear favorite — they average 1.5 goals per match versus 0.33 for Kristiansund and have a 50% win rate this season compared to 0% for the visitors. Draws at the break are common: the home side were level at half-time in 75% of matches and the visitors in 67%, so a draw after 45 minutes is the most likely scenario. Molde, however, are strong after the break — they score an average of 1.25 goals in the second half and in 100% of their matches at least one goal was scored after half-time, while Kristiansund have only 0.33 goals per match and 0.0 on average by half-time. Additionally, Molde average 5.25 shots on target with a 12% conversion rate, versus 2.67 and 3% for Kristiansund, which increases the hosts’ chances of a turnaround in the second half. On this basis the most justified scenario is a draw at half-time and a Molde win at full-time (X/1).
