Match description
Molde has a clear form advantage: in the last 5 matches the visitors recorded 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, scoring 8 goals and conceding 4, which yields an average of 2.0 points per game, while Sarpsborg in their last five have only 1 win and 4 losses, 4 goals scored and 10 conceded (0.6 points per game). Home match statistics show Sarpsborg averages 13.25 shots and 4.5 on target per game with an average xG of 1.55, while Molde away averages 10.25 shots, 3.75 on target and xG 1.14 — so the hosts generate more attempts and higher xG, but this doesn’t translate into results. Defensively the advantage is with Molde: Sarpsborg conceded 10 goals in their last five matches (2.0 per game) versus 4 conceded by Molde (0.8 per game); additionally clean sheet percentage is 0% for Sarpsborg at home compared to 25% for Molde away. Molde also has higher away possession (55% vs 49%) and a better goal difference in the last five matches (8–4), therefore I predict a win for the visitors and assess probabilities as 60% for Molde, 25% for a draw and 15% for Sarpsborg.
