View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?

View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Molde are the favorites, having won 67% of their matches this season and averaging 2.22 points per game, compared with Tromsø’s 57% win rate and 2.00 points per game. The hosts held a lead at the break in 5 of 9 matches, or 56% of the time, while the visitors did so in only 2 of 7, with Tromsø drawing at half-time in as many as 57% of their matches.

Although Tromsø have collected more points over their last five matches—1.8 compared with Molde’s 1.0—the first-half profile and the hosts’ overall-season advantage provide the strongest support for a Molde lead at the break and a home win at full-time, i.e. the 1/1 HT/FT outcome.
